I'm trying to understand what a grade 2 fatty liver means. My liver is normal in size but it shows a diffused coarse increase in homogeneous echotexture. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to improve my liver health?

Grade 2 fatty liver indicates a moderate level of fatty infiltration in the liver. In your case, where the liver is normal in size and shows diffuse coarse increased homogeneous echotexture, it is important to make lifestyle modifications to improve liver health. You can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) to help manage the fatty liver condition. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol can also help improve liver function.

My ultrasound report says the gall bladder isn't visible but there's a dilated common bile duct measuring 20mm at the porta with a clump of calculi around 39x19mm in the middle part. Should I be worried about this? What does this mean for my condition? I had gallbladder surgery before and now seeing these findings could this be related to my past surgery or is it something new developing? What are the next steps I should take?

Dilated CBD and calculi post-cholecystectomy may need ERCP‚Äîconsult gastroenterologist soon.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent colonoscopy results. The report mentions bits of colonic mucosa with dense patches of lymphocytes and a diagnosis of non-specific colitis. It also says there's no distortion of cryptitis or crypt abscess, and no granulomas were found. Can you tell me what this all means and suggest a treatment plan?

Based on your colonoscopy report, the diagnosis of non-specific colitis indicates inflammation of the colon without a specific identifiable cause; treatment typically involves symptomatic relief and may include anti-diarrheal medications like loperamide, antispasmodics like dicyclomine, andor probiotics to manage symptoms;
