Sounds silly but essentially from what you were thinking this is 'great' news.
Just watch her intake etc and she'll be fine.

Hope everything goes well for you and the Mrs.
Shes slightly overweight, she's a 12/14, wants to get down to a 10 again. I wouldnt describe her as overweight personally but maybe a BMI test would (shes about 12 stone, and 5'8")
Thanks for this. Her Mum passed away from Alcohol related Cirrhosis, she was an alcoholic for some 40 years, so the Mrs is worried. She absolutely is not an alcoholic and doesn't abuse any drugs etc. Though we've both drank way too much this year.Things you can do if you have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Adopting a healthy lifestyle is the main way of managing NAFLD.
For example, it can help to:
NAFLD is not caused by alcohol, but drinking may make it worse. It's therefore advisable to cut down or stop drinking alcohol.
- lose weight – you should aim for a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 (use the BMI calculator to work out your BMI); losing more than 10% of your weight can remove some fat from the liver and improve NASH if you have it
- eat a healthy diet – try to have a balanced diet high in fruits, vegetables, protein and carbohydrates, but low in fat, sugar and salt; eating smaller portions of food can help, too
- exercise regularly – aim to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking or cycling, a week; all types of exercise can help improve NAFLD, even if you do not lose weight
- stop smoking – if you smoke, stopping can help reduce your risk of problems such as heart attacks and strokes
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by a build-up of fat in the liver. It often affects overweight or obese people. Although NAFLD doesn't usually cause serious problems, you should take steps to stop it getting worse.www.nhs.uk

If she has drunk too much recently it might have just elevated her liver enzymes temporarily , worth knocking it on the head for now anyway , with weight , is it a lot around the middle of the body , the so called apple shape ? That sets you up for all kinds of organ problems as it means there is a lot of fat inside the abdomen , i was the same shape three stone ago , never a bad time to try and shift that

Do BMI test here, she does need to get on the scales first

The blood tests are relatively non-specific and it could be something or nothing. It will just be a quick ultrasound scan, they’ll scan the whole abdomen (standard practice) including the liver. The vast majority won’t find anything of major concern.
There almost certainly won’t be a biopsy at the scan (it’s a procedure that requires planning on both patient and hospital end and as such you will know if that is planned).
Hope all goes well.
