HCV And Slightly Coarse Texture Liver, Kindly Suggest

Hello Doctor , I am 24 years old. I had HCV which was cleared after I underwent interferon therapy 4 months back. Before I started the therapy my ultrasound showed slightly coarse texture of liver(with all other things normal). I have not undergone any other ultrasound so far. Was that slightly coarse liver texture was something dangerous. I would like to know as After that therapy i have put myself into the normal track of my life.. and now eating everything. like chips and other fried things in my University canteen. also my ALT levels are normal.

ONCE YOU ARE HCV INFECTED U HAVE TO BE VERY CAUTIOUS ....ALREADY LIVER ECHOTEXTURE IS COARSE WHICH SUGGESTS CHRONIC DAMAGE TO LIVER .... YOU HAVE TAKEN INTERFERON THERAPY . DID YOU COMPLETE THE COURSE ACCORDING TO THE REPORTS ITS IMP TO DO SO YOU MUST HAVE BEEN GIVEN RIBAVIRIN ALSO . DO COMPLETE THE COUSES FOR FULL DURATION AS DECIDED BY YOUR DR BECAUSE HCV SLOWLY DAMAGES THE LIVER IT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF CHRONIC LIVER DISEASES SIMPLY SGOT /SGPT NORMALIZATION OF LIVER IS INSUFFICIENT
