Maybe the mean there is a smooth surface in the Billary channels hard to say for sure what they mean
My abdominal ulttasound says coarse echotexture consistent with cirrhosis. Mine does not say nodules my liver surface is not smooth it is coarse
This means you do not have a liver disease if you did it would say Nodule but your liver is smooth
The ultrasound sees the surface texture of the liver which should be smooth. Apparently your liver has a coarse surface texture which could indicate the liver disease or scarring.
“Coarsened hepatic echotexture is a sonographic descriptor where there uniform smooth hepatic echotexture of the liver is lost. This can occur due to number of reasons which include:
conditions that cause hepatic fibrosis 1
cirrhosis
hemochromatosis
various types of hepatitis 3
particularly chronic hepatitis
conditions that cause cholestasis
choledochal cysts: probably from secondary cholestasis 3
certain bile duct tumors: will also usually show of accompanying biliary duct dilatation
biliary atresia 3
diffusely infiltrating hepatic metastases
hepatic lymphoproliferative diseases
hepatic lymphoma: although generally presents as a focal liver disease
hepatic leukemia
small multiple biliary hamartomas
as a hepatic manifestation of sickle cell disease.
metabolic abnormalities
hepatic amyloidosis 5
glycogen storage disease 3”
