I'm a bit concerned about my liver. I recently received an ultrasound report that says my liver is normal in size, about 14.0 cm, but there's a mild diffuse increase in echogenicity, indicating grade I fatty changes. Theres no focal mass lesion or IHBR dilatation seen. Should I be worried about these findings? What exactly does "mild diffuse increase in echogenicity" mean, and what are grade I fatty changes? Is there something specific I should be doing or monitoring because of this, or are these changes considered normal?

The liver is of normal size (14.0 cm) and demonstrates mild diffuse fatty changes, which are likely grade I in severity. There are no signs of any focal masses or bile duct dilatation. This suggests early-stage fatty liver changes without any significant abnormalities.
