What Means Liver Measures 13.2 Cm In Size After An Abdominal Ultrasound?

I received an abdominal ultrasound and I just got the results through fax and everything looks normal but it says the liver measures 13.2 cm in size, normal in contour with a mildly but diffusely increased echotexture. I was wondering what that meant? Under the impression section is says: fatty liver, normal gallbladder, and the common bile duct measures 0.20 cm in diameter.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query
I understand your concerns. Your ultrasound report shows that your liver has fatty infiltration. This is quite common in middle age group due to various reasons. Obesity is one of the cause for this.

So as you have not mentioned your weight in the question, I would advice you to decrease your weight if you are overweight for your age.

Regular work up and diet is very much important. By this your liver size slowly decreases.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
