Common: This is a common finding, particularly in obese patients. It does not seem to be a serious or progressive problem, but the real long term effects of this problem are not fully understood. Follow up with the doctor that ordered the scan to find out more. Hope this helps!

Change your diet: There are several ingredients in prepared foods that have been associated with fatty infiltration of the liver. High fructose corn syrup is one. If you would like to try to reverse the process, try taking all wheat flour, sugar (including starch, fructose and corn syrup), white potato, fruit juice and artificial sweeteners out of your diet for several months. www.blatmanhealthandwellness.com
