Liver enlargement and fatty liver are generally associated together. If a patient has a fatty liver, the patient needs to be evaluated for all metabolic syndrome which includes diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and thyroid problems. Such individuals need to undergo Liver function test, also these patients may or may not need liver fibroscan to know if liver fibrosis has set in. Treatment depends upon the degree of liver injury and associated comorbidities. diagnosis of fatty liver should be taken seriously as some of these patients may develop NASH (non alcoholic steatohepatitis) in long term.
