What Does Parenchymal Ecotexture Of Liver Is Minimally Course Mean?
Hello Doctor I have been suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome for years now. Continued treatment but contraceptive pills started causing severe acidity problem which compelled me to stop it. For last four months, i have been having acidity problem(often acid reflux) and frequent bouts of diarrhoea.. Recent endoscopy and colonoscopy report came okay except gastritis. But my ultrasound shows parenchymal ecotexture of liver is minimally coarse . The liver functioning test came normal. What may this suggest?

Hi,
The parenchymal eco texture of the liver refers to the appearance and texture of the liver tissue on an ultrasound. A minimally coarse texture means that there is some slight irregularity in the texture of the liver tissue, but it is not severe enough to be of significant concern.
In your case, the minimally coarse texture of the liver could be related to your gastritis, as there is a link between liver function and digestive health. However, it is also possible that it is related to your polycystic ovarian syndrome, as there is some evidence of a connection between the condition and liver function. It is best to discuss the results of your ultrasound with your doctor to determine the exact cause and whether any further testing or treatment is needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
