fattly infiltration

I did an Abdomen Ultra Sound , in the given report it said " The liver show mild diffuse increase echogenicity suggestive of fatty infiltration . No focal lesion is seen. No biliary dilatation is seen. "

Is this something to worry about ? shall I check with a medical provider?

Knowing that , am 23 , Non-Alcohol drinker , Used to do bodybuilding and took Dianabol ( Anabol) before but that was more than 2 years ago .

I did the Ultra Sound because of the Rapid Heartbeats that am having recently

Hi Tiredman23,
Fatty liver in a non- alcoholic is commonlydue to the following though there are many other less common causes -

1. Diabetes
2. Obesity
3. Hyperlipdemia.

So if you are obese, take steps to reduce it.
Do the following tests -
1. Blood sugar
2. Lipid profile

If they are abnormal, they could be the cause for your fatty liver and should be treated.
