Question

I'm really concerned about this report I got that mentions "fatty liver" and says something about "parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous." Could you explain what these terms mean and if they're something I should be worried about? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it and just need a bit of clarity on how serious this might be.

The medical term "fatty liver and parenchymal echotexture is heterogeneous" indicates that your liver has accumulated excess fat and its tissue structure appears irregular and non-uniform on ultrasound imaging, which may suggest a condition like hepatic steatosis or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); consult a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss the diagnosis, potential causes, and appropriate treatment plan.
