What Does Slight Coarse Parenchyma From USG Of Liver Indicate?
I have hepatitis C from the last 11 years, by diet control and some herbal medication I have kept my liver in perfect working conditions, I have no symptoms and my Blood counts are excellent, ALT a little high around 60/ Platelets 122. In my last USG the doctor told me that there is slight Coarse Parenchyma. Liver size 14.2 (Normal 14 cm), what is a coarse parenchyma and how that can be reversed?. I am now planning Sovaldi and riba treatment next month. What do you suggest please.

Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Coarse parenchyma of liver in USG may indicate cirrhosis of liver. Cirrhosis is a complication of chronic hepatitis C infection.
You can get a fibroscan done to see if cirrhosis has set in.
Yes you can start on Sovaldi and Riba.
