Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

There is NOTHING to worry about: it is NOT serious at all. The ultrasound findings are suggestive of fat accumulation in the liver (called "Fatty Liver").

Stop alcohol; reduce your fat intake; get your blood lipids estimation done, which- if high- may required lipid-lowering agents.

Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable/modified treatment as advised.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
