Testing: We usually follow the trends of different blood tests: lfts, complete blood count, platelet count, and coagulation tests. Worsening lab values, could signify worsening disease. Improving or stable values could signify stable disease. Getting repeated ultrasounds may not be that helpful with monitoring progression of the disease.

Will require U/S: an ultrasound is the main test to determine this. It is zero risk/discomfort and runs 200-400 tops. But labwork is just about useless on this. on obesity, this might be of interest https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1775472781/1708440999?token=378a5145

Ultrasound: An ultrasound would be a safe and reliable way to check your liver fats.
