Slightly coarsened liver parenchymal echogenicity is a kind of imaging description, by suggesting that the patient’s liver may have damage, but this examination result alone can not confirm the diagnosis of cirrhosis, but need to combine with the characteristics of the medical history, clinical symptoms, auxiliary examination and other information for comprehensive analysis. Cirrhosis is a diffuse proliferation of fibrous tissue in the liver, which may be manifested as weakness, loss of appetite, diarrhea and other symptoms.
