Hello, jimcallahan3,
Your report is indicating that your ultrasound was normal. Echogenic liver
is normal without fatty changes. You don't have hepatomegaly (Enlarged liver).
Your spleen is normal (No enlargement). Blood flow to the liver and all the little
channels in the liver that carry bile are normal. You do not have any fluid in the
abdomen (Ascites). This happens if you have abnormal diseased liver.
You should not be experiencing any symptoms.
Perhaps you could lose about 10 lbs. of body weight to stay healthy.
I wish you well.
