What Causes Fatty Abnormal Texture Covering The Liver?

Hi there, I m 30 years old a mother to 3 children, last year after suffering for over a year with pain in my abdomin and chest area the doctors sent me for an ultrasound to check my gall bladder , the next day I was told by my doctor that I had secondary liver cancer! Was left for weeks not knowing anything,i was able to get a CT scan the following week private to be told there s no cancer but a fatty abnormal texture covering my liver, then left to get on with things and I m concerned this may affect me later on in life ? All I know is that since last year it has not changed much and was told not to worry ! Any advice would help me , thank u in advance

Hello

Your findings suggests fatty changes in liver.It is due to deposition of fat within the liver cells.
It may be due to many reasons like hepatitis,alcohol intake,obesity,altered lipid profile etc.

Fatty liver is reversible condition.Obesity and sedentary life style are its common causes,so these factors should be ruled out.

You may need to change your diet and life style.You should a go for brisk walk regularly and avoid fatty food.

You may need investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function test,lipid profile.
Treatment depend upon findings.

Get well soon.
Take Care
