Hello
Coarse echo texture of liver may indicate liver parenchymal disease.Findings may indicate cirrhosis.
Normal echo texture of liver is homogeneous.
You may need clinical examination and few more investigations like routine hemogram,viral markers,random blood sugar,liver function test,renal function test,urine RE/ME.
Liver biopsy and fibroscan can be done if needed.
Liver biopsy can assess true nature of disease.
Treatment depend upon findings.
Avoid alcohol if you take it.
Take Care
