Question : What do I do if medical report of mine has identified mild increase in the size of liver with mild fats.

Brief Answer:
Not concerning....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The mild increase in liver with fatty deposits are early features of fatty liver. It doesn't need immediate medical attention. However I would recommend that you take measures to prevent this from aggravating. Control of weight, stopping alcohol (if any), avoiding unnecessary medicines/drugs, avoiding high calorie food, making sure blood cholesterol levels are normal are some changes that I recommend.

May I know the reason why the test was conducted. And was your liver function tests performed simultaneously?

Regards

No concerns...

Detailed Answer:
Welcome...

If other liver function tests are normal, you need not be worried. You should implement the aforementioned life style changes immediately.

Fatty liver is not concerning; however a unhealthy life style can stretch the problem beyond recovery. You have an option to reverse it now.

Hope all your questions are answered. Please close this discussion if you have no more enquiries.

Good luck!!
