Question

Is this a fatty liver, something benign, or should I be more concerned? I’ve never had any problems before my pregnancy, and I know that can cause a fatty liver. I don’t eat bad, I’m not over weight and it’s nothing that runs in my family. I am currently waiting on the prior auth from my insurance company to schedule the MRI: if you don’t know, please don’t comment with “go see a doctor,” just keep scrolling. 👌🏼

Answer

It basically says there is a noticeable change in one area, but they can’t tell what it is for sure without further testing.

Answer

Thanks, ladies. My doctor called me today and said that “hyperechoic” basically means “liquid filled” and he’s almost positive that it’s either a burst blood vessel or cyst. He said I may have even had it forever, or it’s a direct result of the pregnancy, which is common due to hormones. So, I’ll have the MRI just to be thorough, but it’s nothing to worry about.

Answer

No it’s not fatty liver. A hemangioma is a bruise. Basically it’s saying a mass of fat in one spot that’s not the result of sepsis or infection. I’m not a dr but fat deposits in the liver aren’t uncommon. Fatty liver would not be localized to one spot in one lobe.
