What does a parenchymal echotexture of liver is increased?
The echo texture of an organ is its ability to bounce an echo (of an ultrasound, for example) off the surface. The parenchymal structure of the liver is its connective tissue. If the echo texture is increased, that means the density of the liver has increased.
What causes postnecrotic cirrhosis?
1. Alcohol is a very common cause of cirrhosis2. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) refers to a wide spectrum of liver diseases that, like alcoholic liver disease, ranges from simple steatosis, to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), to cirrhosis. All stages of NAFLD have in common the accumulation of fat in liver cells. The term nonalcoholic is used because NAFLD occurs in individuals who do not consume excessive amounts of alcohol, yet.3. Chronic viral hepatitis is a condition where hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infects the liver for years. Most patients with viral hepatitis will not develop chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.4. Autoimmune hepatitis is a liver disease caused by an abnormality of the immune system that is found more commonly in women. The abnormal immune activity in autoimmune hepatitis causes progressive inflammation and destruction of liver cells (hepatocytes), leading ultimately to cirrhosis.5. Infants can be born without bile ducts (biliary atresia) and ultimately develop cirrhosis. Other infants are born lacking vital enzymes for controlling sugars that leads to the accumulation of sugars and cirrhosis.
What is hepatic steatosis?

Is liver steatosis the same as fatty liver?
Yes.
What diseases can effect the liver?
cirrhosis, hepatitis, cancer in the body elsewhere (steatosis)
What is diffuse hepatic steatosis?
Also called "fatty liver," diffuse hepatic steatosis is a condition where fat is stored in the liver due to an accumulation of lipids like triglycerides. The main cause is diminished metabolism of fatty acids caused by the impairment of certain enzymes and receptors, insulin resistance, or the overconsumption of alcohol.
My wifes sonography report shows -grade 1 hepatic steatosis - small hyperechoic lesion involving mid pole of rt kidney angiomyolipoma what are these?
i dont no
How long does it take to scan liver for steatosis by MRI?
Scanning the liver for steatosis using MRI typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the specific protocol and the equipment used. The procedure involves acquiring images that assess fat content in the liver, often utilizing techniques like Dixon or magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Preparation time and patient positioning may add to the overall duration, but the actual imaging is relatively quick.

What is lipotoxicity?
Lipotoxicity refers to the ability of lipids to cause cellular, tissue, or organ damage when these lipids are present in larger than normal amounts. An example of lipotoxicity is damage caused by abnormal hepatocellular lipid accumulation during steatosis.
What does increased echogenicity of the hepatic parenchyma consistent with steatosis is demonstrated mean?
Increased echogenicity of the hepatic parenchyma consistent with steatosis means that there is an increase in fat content within the liver, leading to a brighter appearance on ultrasound. This finding is suggestive of fatty liver disease, which can be associated with conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and high alcohol consumption. Further evaluation and management may be needed to address this issue.
What is fattyitis?
There is no medical condition known as "fattyitis." It is possible that you may be referring to steatosis, a medical term for the abnormal retention of fat in the liver. This condition can be caused by various factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, or certain medications.
What diseases can you get from not exercising enough?
There are almost to many to name but to name a few, Obesity, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Dementia, Hepatic steatosis(liver disease)... the list can go on and on. But by maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly, you can decrease your risk for these potentially fatal diseases significantly.
What is mild diffuse hepatic steatosis?
It means that fat is depositing in the liver. It is seen commonly in heavy people, particularly people with diabetes or early difficulty processing sugar. High fructose corn syrup is more likely to cause this than cane sugar. It is rarely a problem other than causing a mild rise in the blood tests done to check for liver damage and is best treated with a low carb / low fat diet and weight loss and avoiding fructose as a sweetener.
