Hi can anyone tell on on an ultrasound does fat show up in the liver as black or white?

I have been diagnosed with diffuse fatty liver. ALT rising and platelets dropping. Thanks

Will show white on an ultrasound. Make sure you abstain from alcohol completely, start to eat a healthy diet with no fried foods, and take NAC supplement daily. Losing weight helps too. :)

N-Acetyl Cysteine. It's based on an amino acid but Google it. You can buy it online and Holland and Barrett sometimes have stock but it sells out quickly.

Not what you're looking for?
