Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Fatty infiltration and fibrosis give a coarse echotexture of the liver parenchyma. However, in your case, since the liver is of normal size with no dilatation of intrahepatic biliary tree, portal and hepatic veins, there is nothing much to worry about it at this stage.
Since you have positive history of Hepatitis B, regular follow-up is necessary and kindly get it done as recommended by your doctor.
Hope the information provided helps.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
MBBS., MD.
