What could these liver ultrasound results mean: heterogeneous increased echogenicity and decreased echogenicity in some geographic areas.

Ultrasound: It means that you have a fatty liver with areas of focal sparing. This may be related to a normal variant or may be related to diet. You should ask your doctor to correlate with liver function tests.

Fatty liver: Most likely this is fatty infiltration of the liver. It is non-cancerous but is associated with obesity, alcohol use, and diabetes. It can also be seen as a result of other causes of liver disease.
