Mystery abdominal pain

CT revealed mild hepatomegaly, mild hepatic steatosis, and a small umbilical hernia. I really don't know if any of this is significant or if it needs to be treated or looked into further. My doctor has not reached out to me other than to give me a summary of the report (I also attained the direct report and images themselves as well). She doesn't appear to be concerned about the result of the scan so I don't know what to think of them. I have a GI appointment on Friday but at this rate I feel like I'm just burning money I don't have. Are the findings significant? Or is it just functional abdominal pain like she says and I should stop looking for other answers?

An enlarged liver is a HUGH concern as are the other findings. What lead you to require your radiology procedure and have you had liver function tests performed yet? Your physician needed some clinical result correlated with your symptoms to order the procedure. Keep your appointment on Friday.
