Hi, I was experiencing high blood pressure and swelling in my face along with edema in my legs. My doctor advised me to get some tests done. All reports were normal except for my liver report. I am attaching my report. Please let me know what this means and how to treat it?

Swelling and high BP can sometimes be linked to liver or kidney issues. If only the liver report is abnormal, it might point to fatty liver, hepatitis, or mild liver inflammation. It is important to identify the exact liver parameter that is raised. Please show this report to your doctor for a tailored treatment plan.

Hi Doctor. I am a 41 year old male. My abdominal ultrasound report shows that the liver is average in size, measuring about 16.1 cm in the right midclavicular line with a smooth outline. It has normal homogeneous echogenicity with smooth echotexture. There is an ill defined heterogeneous lesion in segment IVb V measuring about 1.7 by 2.4 cm with minimal surrounding vascularity. The portal vein is average in calibre with normal colour flow. Can you explain the cause and how dangerous this condition is.
