A member asked:
In 23 y asymptoma, what is the imaging modality to do after 2 negative ultrasounds of liver, after excluding all etiology of elevated lfts, ct or mri?

Nothing if obese: Fatty liver or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld or steatohepatosis) can be diagnosed via ultrasound in overweight or obese patient. Solution is to eat right, exercise regularly, and lose weight, after which fatty liver resolves. No additional imaging is required, although either ct or MRI can be used to look for other causes. However, it's important to draw blood looking for infection.

MRI: Mri with contrast would be the best imaging tool to look at the liver.
