Fatty liver (steatosis of the liver) is one of the most common reasons people have abnormal liver blood tests. The liver is very active in handling fat. It takes lipoproteins (fats) from the blood, reworks them, and secretes them in a different form. The liver also makes and burns fat.he GOT or GPT (also known as AST and ALT) liver blood tests are often slightly elevated, usually less than twice normal. Ultrasound of the abdomen usually shows the liver is âechogenic,â that is more dense than usual toward sound waves.
Hi Erin, The normal kidney size of an adult human is about 10 to 13 cm long, about 5 to 7.5 cm wide and a thickness of about 3 to 4 cm.. Sometimes, the kidneys are not exactly the same in size. The left kidney is usually bigger.
However, the size of a kidney can still grow after maturation. This can happen if one of the kidneys was removed. The remaining kidney increases to compensate the functions of the other kidney. The normal size of the kidney is the human fist size. There are some factors that can affect the abnormal growth in size. One of the factors is the growth or development of cysts in the organ. When cysts start to develop, the kidney can grow as big as a football. In addition, the weight can reach 38 pounds.
