Hello! Thank you for the query. Enlarged liver due to fatty infiltration can be caused by alcohol abuse or by obesity, diabetes and all others associated metabolic changes. So if you do not abuse an alcohol and your weight is high this is the reason of such USG result. Fatty liver can lead to liver cirrhosis and liver failure. And as fatty liver is reversible, liver cirrhosis is not. So this is the best time to make some changes. You should test your cholesterol level with LDL and HDL levels and triglycerides level. If increased, you should ask your doctor to have some statins prescribed. You should also change your diet, prevent fatty foods and sugar rich foods, increase vegetables intake. Physical activity is also advisable. Hope this will help. Regards.
