Medgeeks with Andrew Reid

Fatty liver: what do you do next?


Listen Later

Imagine you're in your office, you have your cup of coffee, and you're about to start reviewing some of the results that came back for your patients.

You look at one of the right upper quadrant sonograms you ordered...

...or perhaps it was an abdominal ultrasound you ordered for another reason...

...or maybe it's a gynecologic ultrasound...

...whatever the reason, the liver was mentioned, and in the report you see hepatic steatosis. This term shows up on a lot of ultrasounds and CAT scans. For most of us, we see it and think, "oh, a fatty liver".

But, many clinicians don't really ask themselves, "what is the next step?"

In todays podcast, we'll be clearing this all up for you. Specifically, we'll be discussing:

  • Hepatic steatosis
  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
  • Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
  • Obesity

So, let's dive right in!
