Fatty liver disease: Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is a diagnosis of exclusion. It's signaled not by abnormal lipids, but by abnormal liver enzymes. An ultrasound may show changes consistent with fatty liver, but is not diagnostic. Inflammation can't be see with a scan. That takes a liver biopsy.
