A member asked:

The liver is hetergeneously increased in echogenicity. liver measured at11.7 cm craniocaudally. is this normal size? treated before hepc genome type 2

Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Liver: The increased echogenicity is consistent with fatty infiltration of the liver with sparing of some parts of the liver. Your liver size is less than 16 cm and is normal. Increased echogenicity of the liver is not a usual finding in active hepatitis. A gastroenterologist or hepatologist is best qualified to answer your question,however.
