60 Y male having LRTI symptoms, Underwent CT CHEST , now he is recovered with the Standard Rx. But I PICKED CIRRHOTIC LIVER FINDING on CT CHEST meanwhile Patient is ASYMPTOMATIC No C/O CLD yet. I advised to do USG ABDOMEN to check for Findings of DECOMPENSATION. & LFT also appears normal On USG adomen** 1) INCREASED ECHOGENICITY of Liver 2) DILATED PORTAL VEIN I think Radiologist interpretated it as FATTY LIVER GRADE 2, but Dilated portal Vein + increased Echogenicity should be S/O CLD Life style He is NON ALCOHOLIC , NON SMOKER PT INR , HEP B , HEP C Reports are awaited.
