Concern: This question is best answered by a gastroenterologist or hepatologist(liver specialist). I would be concerned about chronic liver inflammation or fatty infiltration. I assume that you have been instructed to abstain from alcohol. A liver biopsy may be indicated for diagnosis.

The 'Finding' on US "increased parenchymal echogenicity w/out focal mass lesion." The Impression states: "Echodense liver consistent w/ diffuse hepatocellular disease." Is it more likely simple fatty liver, another type of fatty liver, or cirrhosis?
