What is enlarged echogenic liver,fatty; no active cholelystitis?

Liver steatosis: Frequently seen on ultrasound are changes of the liver associated with a fatty diet, too little exercise, or greater alcohol use than recommended. The results are depositions of fat with in the liver which makes it larger than expected as well as changes its look or 'echogenicity' on ultrasound. Cholecystitis is an acute infection of the gallbladder, also routinely evaluated for on an abd u/s.
