A member asked:
On ultrasound study, my liver appears enlarged in size and parenchyma shows increased echo patterns. porta hepatis is normal. is something wrong?

Fatty liver: The ultrasound pattern you describe usually indicates fatty infiltration of the liver. This can be due to alcohol, drugs/medications, obesity or other causes. Your doctor can do blood work to further evaluate your liver and discuss possible etiologies and treatments.
