my husband just has a liver ultrasound . I am a nurse ....but still worried .The US showed liver measures 18 cm in size . Increased echotexture. Hypoechechotic area right lobe is somewhat lobulated in configuarion measuring 2.6 mm x2.2x2 CM and left lobe measuring 7.5 x 5 x 5 mm No interhepatic ductal enlargement . Impression Incresed echogenicity throughout the liver with mild prominence of spleen suggest hepatocellular disease. most likely indicate complex cyst . HE HAS UNCONTROLLED NEWLY DX DIABETES JUST SARTED ON METFORMIN AND GLIPZIDE . WITH A RECENT REFER TO A DIBETES /ENDOCRINOLIGIST . WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT HE HAS A VERY SOON UPCOMING MRI SCHEDULED
His have seen your ultrasonogram report findings. Liver MCAS 18 cm and increased echo texture means hepatomegaly with fatty change.it's quite common to see fat accumulation in liver cells causing enlargement in diabetes. Two Loculated hypoechoic areas mentioned as complex cysts in liver .we call complex when there is septa / solid component within the cyst. Usually population very difficult to detect in that small size mm cysts. Usually if only population is there nothing to worry.in law of elderly age and comorbidity like diabetes further evaluation as you are planning MRI is advisable. Thank youRegardsVasundhara
