Response from Dr. McGovern
 You may have a condition called steatosis which means fatty liver. Or you may have "steatohepatitis" which means that the fat is inflamed. This is more concerning, because it can lead to scarring. I would discuss the possibility of getting a liver biopsy with your physician, or at least a consultation with a hepatologist. Dr. M |
