I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.It means that there is a liver enlargement and treatment depends on exact cause. Also, suspicious focal liver lesions are seen and these may indicate benign cyst but also malignant tumors. So you should do CT scan as soon as possible. Other causes are various.  if this is caused by diet, obesity and diabetes then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are most common causes and in this case medical evaluation is required.Also if there is infectious disease or biliary duct disorders then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues which require specific medical treatment.I hope I have answered you query.
