What Treatment Is Suggested For Mild Hematomegaly And Chronic Liver Disease?
I had some tests recently and went to a doctor. He said only to cut back on my alcohol. Below are the results from my tests. What are your suggestions? Also, my liver enzymes level in Oct and Dec were at 72. This past week I'm having pains on my lower right side and didn't know if this could be related.
Findings:
The liver is mildly enlarged and demonstrates a mildly nodular contour as
well as moderate diffusely increased parenchymal echogenicity. There is no
focal hepatic mass or intrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation.
Impression:
Mild hepatomegaly and moderate degree of diffuse hepatic steatosis as well
as morphologic findings suggestive of chronic liver disease. Clinical
correlation is recommended, and further evaluation with dynamic contrast
enhanced MRI should be obtained as well.

Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). Presence of nodular contour suggest developement of cirrhosis in liver. I will advise you to quit alcohol at all and visit a Hepatologist or Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management
