I'm a bit concerned after my recent routine checkup. During the ultrasound, everything came back normal except for something called "Mild Fatty Infiltration of Liver." My blood and urine tests were all fine too. I don't have any symptoms like pain or digestive issues, and my appetite is good. Should I be worried about this liver thing? Are there precautions I need to take?

I've been diagnosed with gallstones and my MRCP shows cholelithiasis along with a lower insertion of the cystic duct into the CHD My LFTs are off with SGOT at 115 SGPT 289 ALP 141 and total bilirubin 16 The MRCP also suggests chronic liver disease with a contracted right lobe enlarged caudate lobe and mildly irregular margins My doctor recommended a lap cholecystectomy but I'm worried about what's causing the liver disease and how it should be treated Can you explain the possible causes and treatment options

Gallstone treatment depends on whether the stones cause symptoms. If asymptomatic, they often don't require treatment, but if they cause pain or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is the standard treatment. Medications like ursodeoxycholic acid can sometimes dissolve small, cholesterol-based stones

My ultrasound showed a thickened gallbladder wall with a 15mm polyp and a few small calculi. The doctor prescribed antibiotic drips twice a day for infection, but my stomach feels bloated like there's air inside. Is this serious? Can it be treated with just meds or will I need surgery?

It's important to follow up with your doctor to discuss your concerns and the treatment plan, as they will have the most accurate information about your specific situation. While a thickened gallbladder wall, a 15mm polyp, and small calculi (gallstones) are concerning, they don't necessarily mean immediate surgery is needed. The 15mm polyp does increase the risk of malignancy, and polyps larger than 10mm are often recommended for removal. Your doctor's decision about treatment will depend on several factors, including the size and type of polyp, the presence of gallstones, and whether you are experiencing symptoms
