A member asked:

The ultrasound of my liver showed that i have a fatty liver.the ultrasound also showed a non specific area near my gallbladder. whats does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Non-specific: means just that, not able to be more specific. Ask the doctor who ordered the test to see what is recommended,. Fatty liver needs treatment.
