The word parenchymal means the functional part (contrasted against the word strome meaning the structural part), the functional unit of the liver is a hepatocyte.
Liver disease is an abnormal condition of the liver.
Paranchymal liver disease can be caused by many different stimuli including non-viral infections (toxoplasma gondii, leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, coxiella burnetii (Q fever)), Viral (Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, yellow fever virus), Drugs (paracetamol), Alcohol, Poisons (Amanita phalloides (mushrooms), aflatoxin, carbon tetrachloride), other causes are pregnancy, circulatory insufficiency (e.g. secondary to cirrhosis) and Wilson's disease.

What is the blood level to know if you have diffuse thyroid parenchymal disease?
Diffuse thyroid parenchymal disease just means disease of the thyroid throughout the body of an organ. It is not a diagnosis, but only an observation based on thyroid ultrasound.
What is thyroid parenchymal disease?

What is the tissues of the liver and their function?
Liver tissue is made up of two types of cells: karat parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. The karat parenchymal cells are known as hepatocytes. There are several types of non-parenchymal cells: Sinusoidal hepatic endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells. The liver has a number of functions, including synthesizing hormones and breaking down substances for metabolization by the body's various systems.
What does hepatomegaly with diffuse parenchymal disease and complex cyst on the left lobe means?
Hepatomegaly means enlarged liver. Diffuse parenchymal disease means that the liver cells, throughout the liver, are affected by a disease process. Complex cyst indicates that it is not a simple fluid filled cyst, but that there may be blood or other elements involved in the cyst. This type of radiologic and/or surgical pathologic reading is fairly serious and requires follow-up with a GI specialist (who is also a knowledgeable specialist in diseases of the liver).
What is hepatic parenchymal calcifications?
Hepatic parenchymal calcifications refer to the presence of calcium deposits within the liver tissue. These calcifications can be detected through imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds. They are often associated with chronic conditions such as liver cirrhosis, granulomatous diseases, or previous infections. The presence of hepatic parenchymal calcifications may indicate underlying liver pathology and may require further evaluation by a healthcare provider.
What is bilateral mild increased renal parenchymal disease?
Bilateral renal disease affects the kidneys and functions of the genitourinary system of the body. A physician who gives this diagnosis will explain the disease and treatment options.
What does diffuse increase in renal parenchymal echogenicity mean and what are its causes?
renal parenchyal echogenicity crf mild
Renal parenchymal disease what it means?
This means disease of the kidney cells (nephrons) themselves. It usually implies less than optimal capacity to process waste (such as urinary creatinine).
How can you grade renal parenchymal disease on ultrasound?
Renal parenchymal disease basically appear echogenic. There are three grades of renal parenchymal disease. Grade 1: the Kidney parenchyma is isoechoic to the liver, but there is still cortiomedullary differentiation. Grade 2: the kidney parenchyma is hyperechoic to the liver with preservation of corticomedullary differentiation. Grade 3: kidney appears hyperechoic. No corticomedullary differentiation!
What is a liver filled with homogenous parenchymal echoes?
A liver filled with homogeneous parenchymal echos is one that shows no signs of disease or cirrhosis of the liver. If the liver was filled with inhomogeneous parenchymal echoes, that would show signs of disease or cirrhosis of the liver.This can indicate a number of liver disease types, such as cirrhosis, metastatic disease, fatty liver, chronic hepatitis, and lymph proliferative disease. Further investigation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.
