What Does Slightly Coarse Echoic Spots in Liver Parenchyma Indicate?
The echogenic spots in the liver parenchyma are slightly coarse, which may be caused by fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, liver cysts, and other reasons. It is necessary to receive treatment after clarifying the causes.
1. Fatty liver disease
If daily dietary habits are not regulated and greasy foods are frequently consumed, it may lead to liver cell damage. During examination, local lesions may be detected. It is necessary to promptly adjust the dietary structure, eat more light and digestible foods, and avoid greasy foods such as hamburgers, fries, and fatty meats.
2. Alcoholic liver disease
Frequent smoking and alcohol consumption can increase the metabolic burden on the liver, leading to liver cell lesions. Symptoms such as decreased appetite and general fatigue may also appear. It is necessary to quit drinking promptly and follow the doctor's advice to take medications such as polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules, glutathione tablets, and silymarin capsules.
3. Viral hepatitis
If the liver is infected with a virus, it can exacerbate liver cell damage, and liver lesions may be severe during examination. As the condition worsens, symptoms such as decreased appetite, aversion to greasy foods, nausea, and vomiting may also appear. Patients need to take medications such as entecavir dispersible tablets, tenofovir alafenamide tablets, and amifostine tablets under the guidance of a doctor. These medications can exert antiviral effects.
4. Liver cysts
Congenital developmental abnormalities, parasitic infections, and other factors can increase liver irritation, potentially leading to the formation of cysts in the liver due to expansion. During examination, local abnormalities may be detected, which may also lead to abnormal liver function, manifesting as postprandial fullness, jaundice, ascites, and other symptoms. Patients can seek medical attention for surgical treatment to improve symptoms through laparoscopic cyst fenestration, cyst resection, and other methods, to prevent continued cyst enlargement.
In addition, it may also be caused by liver cirrhosis, which is often considered to be caused by hepatitis B virus infection. Diffuse fibrosis of lung tissue may be detected during examination, indicating abnormal liver function. Patients need to promptly seek medical attention for liver resection or liver transplantation to improve symptoms. If symptoms show a trend of worsening, prompt medical diagnosis is necessary to avoid delaying the best treatment timing. Regular outdoor exercise can improve physical resistance. At the same time, it is important to avoid long-term use of certain medications to prevent increased liver toxicity.
