My ultrasound findings are diffuse heterogeneous liver parenchymal echotexture, suggestive of underlying liver parenchymal disease. I am 64 years old with hypothyroid dis., high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure. Is this serious or related to my thyroid function? thanks,
HelloYour findings suggests diffuse heterogeneous liver parenchymal echo texture, and it may be due to many reasons like cirrhosis, hepatitis etc. Normal liver is homogeneous in echo texture. You need proper clinical examination and further investigations. Investigations include routine hologram, random blood sugar, complete liver function test, lipid profile, urine RE/ME, renal function test, viral markers, ultrasound of abdomen. CT scan of abdomen and cartography of liver can be done if needed. Proper treatment depend upon findings. Most likely altered liver echo texture is not related to thyroid disorder. Get well soon.
