Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Coarse echotexture of liver may be due to cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis is an irreversible condition.
Some of the common causes are chronic alcohol intake, hepatitis B and C infection.
The only definitive treatment is liver transplantation.
Usually the treatment is aimed at preventing complications like upper Gi bleed and fluid accumulation in the abdomen and legs.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further management.
Regards.
