Answer
Hello, doctor would like to answer the question: "Is it dangerous to have a fatty liver with Gallbladder Polyp 5mm in diameter? ” as follows:
Regarding your fatty liver, what grade did the ultrasound doctor conclude? If you have elevated liver enzymes, you should see a gastroenterologist for advice and treatment. If there is no increase in liver enzymes, but you are overweight, you should lose weight and control blood fat, check ultrasound every 6 months.
About Gallbladder Polyps, you should follow up with ultrasound every 6 months, if the polyp size increases by 2mm or more, you should see a specialist in Gastroenterology for surgery.
If you still have questions about this issue, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to check. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
