Hi,I have had a liver transplant for 2 years and my most recent ultrasound says,The hepatic parenchyma is diffusely coarsened and mildly heterogenous but without focal parenchymal abnormality. Can you tell me what this means? At the end of the results it says that there are no adverse features in relation to the transplanted liver.
Hello Diffusely coarsened and mildly heterogeneous echo texture of liver may be due to liver parenchymal disease. Normal echo texture of liver is homogeneous. Besides clinical correlation, you need investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, complete liver function test, urine RE/ME, lipid profile. It is good that there is no focal parenchymal abnormality, it could be a grave sign in transplanted liver. Get well soon. Take Care Chat Doctor.
