de valoración limitada por localización alter intercostal

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general)
"Hígado de valoración limitada por localización alter intercostal, de ecogenicidad ligeramente aumentada, en relación con esteatosis hepática, sin evidencia de lesones focales."

Liver could not be fully examined due to unusual intercostal position?

This is from a hospital discharge report.

Discussion

Anne Schulz Feb 16, 2017:
Could "alter" be a transcription error for "alta"? (meaning the liver is located relatively high/cranially, behind the ribs, and therefore poorly accessible for ultrasonography)

limited assessment due to narrowing of intercostal spaces

I think "alter" could be an abbreviation for "alterada". From what I have read the visualisation of the liver is made difficult by narrowing of intercostal spaces. The spaces can become either widened, or narrowed.
