Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: The most common incidental finding in an ultrasound abdomen scan is fatty liver. The significance of this finding is a curiosity for the radiologist and the clinician as there has been lots of study with equivocal results. Aim: To study if there is any significant relationship between grades of fatty liver and hepatomegaly with mild, moderate or morbid obesity. Materials and Methods: This study was done as a hospital based retrospective study in department of Radiology for a duration of one month in all patients who were incidentally detected with fatty liver. BMI was calculated for correlation with hepatomegaly and grading of fatty liver.
