Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Liver is normally homogeneous in echotexture.
Coarse hepatic echotexture indicates liver parenchymal disease.
It may be due many reasons like excessive fatty deposition,cirrhosis etc.
You need proper clinical examination and investigations.
Investigations include routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,RFT,Lipid profile,elastography. Further investigations can be done if needed.
Proper treatment depend upon clinical examination and investigation reports.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
