An increased echotexture of the liver could mean several different things. A doctor is the only one who can diagnose what it means in a certain case. It would be caused by cirrhosis, or hepatitis, or fatty infiltration just to name a few things it could mean.
In mild cirrhosis the echo texture becomes course but does not effect prognosis I will post a detailed report and post it within 72hrs.
i just saw my abdominal echo and the results showed mild coarsening of the hepatic echotexture that could be related to diffuse hepatocelluiar disease. what does this mean> can it be cancer of liver?
A homogeneous liver is one that has the same texture throughout.
It means that the ultrasound has found an area of abnormality that will need to be further diagnosed. Possibly with a biopsy. It does not mean that there is cancer, but it could mean that there is a mass or tumor present.

"Echo" usually refers to echocardiography.
Hepatomegaly with a heterogeneous echotexture means that the liver is enlarged and appears to have a varied and irregular texture on ultrasound imaging. This can be caused by various conditions such as cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, or liver inflammation. Further evaluation, including blood tests and possibly a liver biopsy, may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
When the liver has coarse areas, it often indicates structural changes, which may be a sign of liver disease such as cirrhosis or fatty liver disease. These changes can result from chronic inflammation, scarring, or damage to liver tissue. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate evaluation and diagnosis, as coarse liver texture can signify underlying health issues requiring treatment. Regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments may be necessary to manage liver health.
