What Are The Findings From The Abdomen Ultrasound?

I Just have a question about recent ultrasound on abdomen and as far as the results of the ultrasound, this is what it said: Liver: Diffuse fatty infiltration of liver without focal mass. Mild
nonspecific heterogeneity noted in the liver. Infiltrative process not
entirely excluded. Suggest clinical correlation with liver function tests.

Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

What happens is that the body, when facing concumption of fat, uses liver as the first stop where the fat is accumulated. This accumulated fat is called fatty liver.
Depending on the amount of fat deposited, there are several grades of fatty liver.
There is no mass finding, meaning no infective or malignant pathology was found
Some conditions are infiltrative, in that the body produces extra fat and this causes fatty liver. that also has been ruled out

Suggest to do a blood test- liver function test and lipid profile

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above so i can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
