A score of two (++) indicated a definitive positive finding of fatty infiltration. A score of one (+) indicated a probable fatty infiltration. When fatty infiltration was negative (-), a score of zero was assigned. The sum of the scores for the three criteria was considered to be an indicator of severity ascites of fatty infiltration. Thus, the fatty liver indicator ranged from zero to six, with fatty liver indicated by a total score of three or more. The ascites criteria and scoring assignments are described below. 1. The ECHO levels for the liver ascites and kidney parenchyma were compared. An evaluation was made of the relative increase in the liver versus kidney surface ECHO level accompanied by a high contrast between liver and kidney parenchyma (liver-kidney ECHO discrepancy). A large discrepancy between hepatic and renal echoes resulted in a ++ finding.
