@colleenyoung If ultrasound results states hepatocellular disease such as steatosis is suggested. I am assuming they are referring to Fatty Liver disease. Is this correct?

“Steatosis” is a term healthcare providers use to describe fat buildup in an organ (usually your liver). A healthy, high-functioning liver contains a small amount of fat. Fat buildup becomes a problem when it reaches over 5% of your liver's weight. Read more https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15831-fatty-liver-disease

@lclark918, have you had a chance to speak with your doctor yet about the results of your ultrasound? Do they suspect fatty liver disease?
