FATTY LIVE / CIRHOSSIS - NO SYMPTOMS -

During my last blood work / ultrasound, doc said it was indicative for fatty liver / liver cirrhosis.
I find this odd since I've had no symptoms..   No pain; no dark urine; dont eat fatty foods; not overweight.
I don't drink hard liqour daily; if any i dirnk 3-4 hard seltzers a day (grocery bought)..  

Can this happen even without symptoms?  Anyway to decrease like supplements?

TECHNIQUE:  Real time gray scale and Color Doppler imaging was performed over the right upper quadrant using a transabdominal approach.

FINDINGS:  The liver measures 11.3 cm. There is slight increased echogenicity of the liver.  No intrahepatic mass or cyst is present.

The common bile duct diameter is 0.4 cm.

The gallbladder is normal.  The gallbladder wall thickness is 0.2 cm.

The pancreas is not well visualized due to overlying bowel gas.

No ascites or pleural effusions are present.

IMPRESSION:
No acute abnormality.  Slight increased echogenicity of the liver suggestive of fibrofatty infiltration or other liver disease.

Liver function was borderline elevated in addition to mild elevation in your total bilirubin. Alkaline phosphatase was normal.
Cholesterol, LDL (calculated) 109 mg/dL
AST (SGOT) 45 U/L
ALT (SGPT) 39 U/L
Bilirubin, Total 1.7 mg/dL
