I'm on medication for stomach tuberculosis and it's been nine months so far. I've heard that for stomach TB, you need to take the meds for at least a year to avoid the risk of MDR. Is that actually true?

I'm a bit concerned about my liver function test results. My total bilirubin is 1.27 and direct bilirubin is 0.34. Are these levels normal or should I be worried about something? I've attached my report for reference. Could you please help me understand?
Normal,nothing to worry ok.

Sure, I came across my medical report and it mentions terms like "marginally enlarged", "diffusely increased echogenicity", and "small hypoechoic sol with irregular wall" in my liver. There's also something about "tiny cystic changes" and a similar "smaller sol" at the left lobe. I'm really anxious about what all of this means. Are these findings something to be concerned about, and what kind of follow-up or action should I take?
The ultrasound report suggests that you have two liver lesions: a 46mm x 25mm x 29mm hypoechoic solid mass with irregular walls and tiny cystic changes in the right lobe, and a smaller 21mm x 15mm x 19mm solid mass in the left lobe; these findings may indicate benign liver lesions, such as hemangiomas or focal nodular hyperplasia, but further evaluation, such as a contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan, and consultation with a hepatologist or radiologist are necessary to determine the nature and significance of these lesions.
