Most commonly: What you describe is increased fat content of the liver. Fatty liver is commonly associated with alcohol or metabolic syndrome (diabetes, hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia), but can also be due to several other causes.

See answer: While it is difficult to interpret a comment from the report, especially without seeing the images and the relationships and appearance of the other hepatic structures (vessels, bile ducts) this may indicate diffuse fatty infiltration – which could be metabolic or the result of drug treatment . Discuss with your clinical dr.
