A liver filled with homogeneous parenchymal echos is one that shows no signs of disease or cirrhosis of the liver. If the liver was filled with inhomogeneous parenchymal echoes, that would show signs of disease or cirrhosis of the liver.
This can indicate a number of liver disease types, such as cirrhosis, metastatic disease, fatty liver, chronic hepatitis, and lymph proliferative disease. Further investigation is needed for a definitive diagnosis.

∙ 9y agoHomogenous parenchymal echo means that the mass of the organ has a similar density throughout. It is a possible inclination that there is no tumor. Talk with your primary care provider for advice specific for your situation.

What is the meaning of slightly altered parenchymal epitexture in ct scan?
It is not a "parenchymal epitexture" it is a "parenchymal echotexture" and it is indicating damage to the liver.
Is the liver the largest parenchymal organ in the abdominal cavity?
The liver is the biggest organ in the abdominal cavity.
What does a parenchymal echotexture of liver is increased?
The echo texture of an organ is its ability to bounce an echo (of an ultrasound, for example) off the surface. The parenchymal structure of the liver is its connective tissue. If the echo texture is increased, that means the density of the liver has increased.
What is the tissues of the liver and their function?
Liver tissue is made up of two types of cells: karat parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells. The karat parenchymal cells are known as hepatocytes. There are several types of non-parenchymal cells: Sinusoidal hepatic endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells. The liver has a number of functions, including synthesizing hormones and breaking down substances for metabolization by the body's various systems.
What does hepatomegaly with diffuse parenchymal disease and complex cyst on the left lobe means?
Hepatomegaly means enlarged liver. Diffuse parenchymal disease means that the liver cells, throughout the liver, are affected by a disease process. Complex cyst indicates that it is not a simple fluid filled cyst, but that there may be blood or other elements involved in the cyst. This type of radiologic and/or surgical pathologic reading is fairly serious and requires follow-up with a GI specialist (who is also a knowledgeable specialist in diseases of the liver).
What if liver shows homogenous echopattern?
means liver might be disease free
What is hepatic parenchymal calcifications?
Areas of calcium inside the "meat" of the liver (not in the different local vessels).
How can you grade renal parenchymal disease on ultrasound?
Renal parenchymal disease basically appear echogenic. There are three grades of renal parenchymal disease. Grade 1: the Kidney parenchyma is isoechoic to the liver, but there is still cortiomedullary differentiation. Grade 2: the kidney parenchyma is hyperechoic to the liver with preservation of corticomedullary differentiation. Grade 3: kidney appears hyperechoic. No corticomedullary differentiation!
What proportion of the abdomen is filled by the liver?
2/4 of your abdomen is filled with liver
What is diffuse hepatic parenchymal disease?
The word parenchymal means the functional part (contrasted against the word strome meaning the structural part), the functional unit of the liver is a hepatocyte. Liver disease is an abnormal condition of the liver. Paranchymal liver disease can be caused by many different stimuli including non-viral infections (toxoplasma gondii, leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, coxiella burnetii (Q fever)), Viral (Hepatitis A,B,C,D,E, Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, yellow fever virus), Drugs (paracetamol), Alcohol, Poisons (Amanita phalloides (mushrooms), aflatoxin, carbon tetrachloride), other causes are pregnancy, circulatory insufficiency (e.g. secondary to cirrhosis) and Wilson's disease.
Whether there is possibility of carcinoma from parenchymal liver disease?
Risk is increased if there is cirrhosis, for example alcoholic or viral hepatitis related.
What are the causes of parenchymal echogenicity?
Parenchymal echogenicity can be affected by various factors, including inflammation, fatty infiltration, fibrosis, and changes in blood flow or perfusion. Other causes may include liver or kidney diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or renal parenchymal disease, which can alter the density and echogenicity of the tissues. Additionally, age-related changes or medications can also impact parenchymal echogenicity.
