Mildly raised ALT and AST indicate liver inflammation that is often reversible. Adopt a liver friendly diet, avoid alcohol and fatty foods. Repeat a Liver Function Test in 4 to 6 weeks. Review follow up results with your physician to guide ongoing care.

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.
