Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the CT report you have mentioned.
In thorax, it is showing pleural thickening and bands. These are healed lesions from previous pleural effusion or pleurisy (inflammation of pleura).
No treatment is required for this because they are scarred, inactive lesions.
In liver, you are having fatty infiltration. This means that you are having higher body fat. So try to reduce weight and stay fit and healthy. Start exercising and dieting.
Avoid alcohol Because this can also cause fatty liver.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
