Hi,
How is your wife? Some fat in the liver  may be considered normal but  more than 5%-10% of the weight of the liver may suggest alcoholic or nonalcoholic liver disease that could lead into serious complications.
Other issues associated with fatty liver disease include certain medications, rapid weight loss, malnutrition, viral hepatitis, as well as autoimmune or inherited liver disease. It is best that you discuss the results also with her attending physician for proper evaluation. Correlation of the symptoms and test results are important considerations. Take care and best regards.
