A member asked:

Diagnosed with "borderline hepatomegaly with mild fatty infiltration of liver and pancreas" in ultrasound. please suggest the reasons and treatment.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fatty liver: Fatty infiltration of the liver can be a common finding on ultrasound. Maybe weight loss, controlling diabetes if present, avoid excess alcohol. Check with your doctor if there are any medications to avoid. This can also be a minor radiology finding of little clinical significance. Ask your doctor.

My ultrasound report showed a mild enlarged liver (15cm) and the rest of it came normal with normal LFTs. One month later another ultrasound showed a normal liver in shape and size. Should I be worried with that slight increase in size previously?

I've had elevated ALT (75) for 5-6 months and ultrasound showed a mildly enlarged liver (16.6 cm) but no fat. Is there a chance this could be serious?
