A member asked:
Abdominal ultrasound showed "fuzzy" liver, what are the possible causes?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably fatty liver: Fuzzy probably means a fatty or cirrhotic liver. The diagnosis can be refined by correlating with your body weight, medication use, blood liver function tests, viral hepatitis exposure and alcohol use among other things.

Ultrasound: Not at all sure, 'fuzzy' is not a typical ultrasound descriptor! What is the terminology used in the report?
