A member asked:
Heavy drinker for 7 months. quit drinking. liver pain upper abdo for 8 months nw. bloods n ct wit ultra normal. can tests miss mild fatty liver ?

For sure: Particularly if patient had IV contrast with CT it is more difficult to detect fatty infiltration. Uncontrasted CT is more sensitive for fatty change in the liver. Usually some elevation of liver enzyme tests in significant fatty infiltration.
