A member asked:

My ct abdomen with contrast result says mild fatty liver. my liver function tests were normal. i am overweight though, anything to be concern of?

CT Abdomen: Why did you have the CT scan? Having a fatty liver and being over weight is of concern and you should have a complete evaluation with your care giver about diagnosis and treatment.
