Is “fatty liver” easily diagnosed? Just wondering. I imagine some of my relatives who are FATTIES have fatty livers....but, I’m wondering if less fat people have fatty livers too?

It is diagnosed through blood test and ultrasound. I have the beginning stages of it and I have read up on it. Part of it is high triglycerides. I found this out back in the end of May. I have been reading it more and one of the major causes is high sugar items. I have been very careful what I have been eating especially the simple carbohydrates and to a certain extent, watch the saturated fat intake. I need to get in for another blood test to see where it is at. Also duringmy lunch hour at work, I do biking for about 40 minutes. I have lost some weight since then as well.

This started because my blood pressure was around 140/80 which since has gone down with the exercise.
