diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver - what is that means.?

---

Can someone please tell me in a way I can undestand (english) what is diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver. The CT scanning appears to be normar but with the above info.

I have two previous CT with - Mosaic attenuation patter - and Mosaic perfusion. At this point I do not know if the scanning people know what they are doing or my health is fine.

I have severe symptoms of pain on my Left Upper Quadrant Abdomen with mass in my abdomen followed by left upper back bruise (white spot - similar to bite)

I just need your opinon of what possibilities of problems could that be. - It is over a year of testing with lots of drugs but no soluction.

Please no website just your opionin.

I thank you very much
Fatty infiltration is when the cells of an organ have absorbed fat from outside of it. In a nutshell your liver sucked up fat that surrounded it.

Mosaic attenuation pattern has to do with what the person reading the CT scan is seeing. It is a pattern of darkness and lightness that resembles a form of art in which tiles are inlayed to form a picture. What they are seeing is the density of your liver varying in density wildly. This could be due to tumor versus healthy tissue versus fatty tissue.

I have no idea what would cause a white spot on the outside of your body in relation to a mass inside of it though--that sounds a bit odd.  (+ info)

is there something they can do for infiltration of the lungs?

---

if the numbers keep getting higher? what does all this mean?
Well an infiltration is usually pneumonia.
which you would take antibiotics for.
However you are confusing me by asking about numbers getting higher. That has nothing to do with an infiltration.
Unless you are talking about your WBC's

please clarify your question if you need more info.  (+ info)

Thank you
Fatty liver (steatosis) is the accumulation of fat in hepatocytes (liver cells). It is often an asymptomatic condition, which does not damage the liver. The patient may have an enlarged liver or minor elevation of liver enzyme tests. In fact, fatty liver is one of the most common causes of isolated minor elevation of liver enzymes found in routine blood tests. An ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI can detect a fatty liver, but the diagnosis can be conformed only by a liver biopsy. It is commonly seen in individuals who are diabetic or obese.

Accumulation of fat can occur due to several mechanisms - transfer of fat from other parts of the body or an increase in the extraction of fat presented to the liver from the intestine or reduced breakdown and removal of fat by the liver. Eating fatty foods does not by itself produce a fatty liver.

There are many clinical states that may lead to it and these include extreme weight gain, poor diet, diabetes, tuberculosis, and use of certain drugs like steroids. Alcohol abuse is a well-known cause for this as is toxicity of certain chemicals.

In diagnosing fatty liver, it is important to exclude other causes of chronic liver disease, especially alcohol abuse. The treatment depends on the underlying cause. It is important to remember that simple fatty liver may not require treatment and simple measures like weight loss, dietary fat restriction, and exercise will help. Ursodeoxycholic acid may improve liver function test results, but its effect on improving the underlying liver abnormality is unclear.

You need to discuss with your doctor prior to starting therapy.

In somewhat simple terms, what is the difference between infiltration and extravasation?

---

If a fluid is extravasated - it leaks out of the blood vessels

If a tissue is infiltrated - there is some stuff (or organism) that is invading into it  (+ info)

My hand is swollen and bruised after hep lock infiltration it has been over 24 hours. Should I call the Doc?

---

I was told swelling should decrease within 24 hours but nothing about bruising
Yes call the doc. In the meantime use ice and warm compressess to disperse the infiltrated fluid. Try to keep your hand flexible by bending your fingers and wrist but not so much that it causes you pain. Depending on the med running into the hep lock, determines the outcome of the infiltration. I have seen NS infiltration take a few days. Call the doc and follow his instructions.  (+ info)
