Is it dangerous for women to have a 9mm calcified liver?

Question
Hello doctor,
On September 27, 2021, I had an ultrasound of the liver with 4mm calcified nodules, and on 11/11/2021, the ultrasound showed a 9mm calcification. So the doctor asked me if a woman's liver with 9mm calcifications is dangerous? I thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question "Is it dangerous for women to have 9mm calcifications? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Calcification in the liver is a common condition. Dimensional evaluation by ultrasound is not highly accurate. You don't have to worry about changing the size of the calcification. You did not talk about elevated liver enzymes or not, so the doctor can't give specific advice. With normal liver function, you do not need to worry about calcifications. If you are still worried, you can take a hepatobiliary resonance imaging (MRI) scan for peace of mind.
If you still have questions about female liver with 9mm calcifications, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
