I have been diagnosed with fatty liver. I was told I was at 70 and they only get concerned if its over 100 I have no idea what that means or how bad it is does anyone know. I am going for an ultrasound scan I personally think it's due to what I eat

Hi Montygi, not sure what type of test is giving the doctors the numbers but the ultrasound can show fatty or enlarged liver or cancer. It can't show fibrosis or cirrhosis, you would need other testing for that. If you have just a fatty liver you can usually turn that around by diet and exercise. Good luck.
