Question 1

i have 2.5 cm x 2.1 cm liver solid mass detected in segment 6 of right lobe via ultra sound. mri is to be done next. i feel little discomfort under right rib area effected by movement. could it be due to liver or i may have some other muscle issue?

Accepted Answer

: If the mass in section 6, even small, is approximate the liver surface, it can distend the liver capsule and causes discomfort. You may be able to make the distinction by moving your chest wall muscle and ribs by moving the right shoulder back and forth. If pain exacerbates a lot, pain is likely of musculoskeletal origin. However, you should not worry much, wait for MRI to be done.

Accepted Answer

Constipation: If you have chronic constipation, then more fiber likely just makes you bloated and more gassy. This is because you most likely have a combination of evacuation issues along with a colonic motility issue.

FATTY LIVER.: Your liver tests look normal.

Question 8

do you have to fast before liver bio with ultra sound guided?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Any time there is a procedure, it usually good to have an empty stomach.  If you become "sick", it is best to vomit without food in the stomach to avoid aspiration.  Sometimes the proceduralist will allow a small amount of liquids.  If you were to have a complication, it is best to have an empty stomach to avoid these and many other complications.  If in doubt, call the doctor or place you go.

Question 9

white spots on my liver ultra sound?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Usually they are hemangiomas which are benign but without seeing the picture, i can't say for sure. Check the report and see if they made any recommendations.

Question 10

what does diffusley increased echogenicity of the liver mean? (it was in an ultra sound reading)

Accepted Answer

Explanation: The term "diffusely increased echogenicity of the liver" is most commonly used in the ultrasound report to indicate that there is diffusely increased fat content in the liver, also called "steatosis". That can be due to diet, recent alcohol intake, body habitus, and some rare genetic conditions which result in the liver trapping fat. The best thing to do is to talk to your doctor.
