Fatty liver is a condition where fat accumulates in liver cells. It's a reversible condition depending on whats causing the problem. Low attenuated lessions is talking about a measurement of the lessions, how strong it is. Being "low" may not be anything, but a scar or a shadow. If it was high attenuated, then that would be cause for concern. A hepatic cyst is also known as a simple cyst. Until the doctor completes the ultrasound on your liver, which that will give him a better diagnosis. I don't know what else to tell you from the info you have provided. I'm just a volunteer, I try to help people the best that I can. I have MS myself. When you find out something from your test. Let us know on here.

Best of Luck!!!

If the flow of bile out of the liver is blocked, it could cause this. Do you notice a yellowing of your skin or your eyes? This is jaundice, and it would accompany clay colored stool due to a build up of bile in the body. There are a list of things that can cause jaundice. If you suspect jaundice see a doctor.

Just some pointers for you, hope it helps.
