Fatty liver: You have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).  NAFLD tends to develop in people who are overweight or obese or have diabetes, high cholesterol or high triglycerides.

Not usually.: usually an ultrasound of the liver can detect mild to moderate fatty liver fairly easily. If there is question, you may want to have the ultrasound reviewed by the radiologist who read it previously.  good luck.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Without further details including presence of diabetes/diarrhea and underlying cause of the chronic pancreatitis, i'd say those are drastic measures. Start with your local gastoenterologist for review of options and identification of causes such as obesity, alcohol, gall stone disease, and drugs.

Accepted Answer

: What you described is not a cause for concern. Try to lose weight which is essential for reversing the fatty change.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

what does mild diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver mean?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: Hi!
It means that the cells of the liver are accumulating fat and not getting rid of it.  
This can be due to alcohol, overuse of tylenol (acetaminophen) (and several other medications), malnutrition, as well as metabolic problems like diabetes, obesity and elevated triglycerides.  
Mild fatty liver itself is usually not dangerous, but it can sometimes progress, and it can be sign of one of the above diseases.

Question 9

how to change a fatty liver to normal?

Accepted Answer

Best way,...: Weight loss, diet and exercise.... Eating well, decreasing fats in your diet, etc. etc.

Question 10

my liver size is 140 mm and gallstone the or series mild fatty parnechma?

Accepted Answer

Gallstone: Don't worry about the gallstone unless you're having problems. Typically these are intermittent, crampy right upper abdominal pain about 30-60 minutes after eating. Sometimes its at the bottom of the breast bone, sometimes goes to the back. For the rest, ask your doctor about it. Fatty liver is very common, and not progressive. Size sounds ok, but not sure which dimension. Hope this helps!
