I have a fatty liver. I went for ultrasound and the liver size came out to be 15.1 cm The doctor has given me High dose vitamin E for one month.
Also, he has suggested me to go for Fibroscan to find out the percentage increase in liver fat. Should I go for it?
Is my current condition of the liver very serious?

Fatty liver is one of the most common causes for enlarged liver. Until and unless you are symptomatic, there shouldn't be an issue to worry.
Also to be on the safer side, go ahead with the fibroscan and get your blood tested for Liver function tests and total cholesterol levels.
