@contentandwell The University of Indiana is about 3 hours south of me. However I don't have any tests that raise concern other than the Hepatic Echo that says Parenchymal liver disease but it's broad. My AST and ALT are normal and I'm not jaundice. There's not much to go on to get me through the door.

has anyone done the cortisol and adrenal function testing? If those are normal - then you can find yourself qualifying for a different set of doctors - but I've for SURE get those done. there is a "stim test" that takes a baseline level of cortisol and then following an injection of something (they never told me what it was) they will take more blood tests to measure cortisol again. Check it out.

@johnwes5819 If you trust your doctor and have confidence in him/her then I guess your questions are answered. If you are feeling a lack of confidence at all though you should see a hepatologist. If you have a diagnosis of fatty liver you do need to make diet modifications to reverse it.
I am not a medical person so I do not want to give you medical advice, I only know my own situation -- AST and ALT not terribly elevated, and never had jaundice!
