I recently had an complete ultrsound of the abdomen.Everything was alright except for the liver being mildly enlarged 17cm and demonstrates a slightly increase parenchmal echogenicity on a diffuse basis. My cholesterol used to be high, but is to a normal range. I was taking crestor for at least three months before that Lipitor last year which the Dr. took me off of. I am scheduled for a HIDA scan and MRI . Just wanted to get your input on this. Thank You Sincerely Robin H
Thank you, Robin, for your question. You are probably suffering from a Fatty Liver disease. Would suggest you to get a liver function test done. Also the HIDE and MRI test are required, so you are on the right track. You need not worry as of now. Lifestyle modification is an integral part of the cure, like avoiding consumption of overtly fatty food, engaging in physical exercise for at least 40 mins per day and avoiding alcohol consumption as much as possible. Take care
