Fatty Liver and pancreas

I have just received the results of an abdominal ultrasound and it came back saying that I have a fatty liver and pancreas.  What could be the cause of this?  I am in my early 60s.  I am being scheduled for a CT scan.  I cannot have MRIs as I have a pacemaker.  

I am 5 foot 5 inches and the highest I ever weighed was 173 and that was a couple of years ago.  I am now 159 lbs.  My combined cholesterol is 3.67.

Any ideas what could cause this?

Thanks very much,

G

  Hi  there..Do you have Hep C . Fatty liver may or may not be associated with Hepc.The disordes of "NASH"  and "NALD" would be more widely dicussed on the "Liver Disorders" forum.

Good luck.

Being overweight is a major cause of fatty liver is extremely common. Get rid of the weight, and your liver will clear up.

I'm 15 lbs overweight, and I have mild fatty liver. When I asked my liver doc what I could do about it, he said:

"Lose 15 pounds."
