A member asked:

Us: "liver is homogeneous in architecture with no focal abnormalities. prominent, 18cm." does this mean fatty? 6' 1", 188, drinker, 27yo, lfts normal.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fatty liver?: The finding of an enlarged homogeneous-appearing liver could be consistent with a fatty liver (hepatosteatosis), especially in someone who drinks. Have your cholesterol profile checked. Try to cut back on the drinking - may help. Have liver enzymes monitored.

My ultrasound report showed a mild enlarged liver (15cm) and the rest of it came normal with normal LFTs. One month later another ultrasound showed a normal liver in shape and size. Should I be worried with that slight increase in size previously?
