The cutoff value is similar to the prior validation studies but refills the gap for echogenic as- sessment in general health checkup. Feldstein and colleagues [24] reported that the survival of children with NAFLD was significantly shorter than that of their peers without NAFLD. Thus predicting ...
Healthy liver tissue is less echogenic than the spleen, and has a more prominent vascular pattern. The portal veins can be distinguished from the hepatic veins by the greater amount of fibrous tissue in the walls of the portal vessels. Bile ducts are not visible in the normal liver. Discrete...
mildly elevated indirect/unconjugated bilirubin What is the cause of hepatic jaundice? Caused by dysfunction of hepatic cells leading to condition wherein liver can no longer effectively conjugate bilirubin labs of hepatic jaundice moderate to highly elevated direct/conjugated bilirubin; can be mixed indi...

May be given SC if animal is mildly dehydrated and is not vomiting. b Neomycin has been associated with rare ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity; its use should be restricted to acute management of HE. c Crystalline lactulose (powder) is also available commercially (Kristalose, Bertek Pharmaceuticals)...
In the majority of patients, hepatitis is improved and reversible with temporary cessation of cancer therapy [2]. In patients with acute hepatitis, ultrasound demonstrates multiple echogenic foci within a relatively hypoechoic liver parenchyma, the so-called “starry sky” sign (Fig. 4) [25]. CT...
main lobar fissure divides the right and left lobes of the liver; seen in the sagittal plane as an echogenic line between the gallbladder neck and the main portal vein porta hepatis known as the gateway to the liver, a fissure where the portal vein and hepatic artery enter the liver and...

Typically, the liver of a patient with AFL presents as “echogenic,” meaning more dense than usual to the imaging sound waves. In addition, the liver is typically enlarged due to the swelling and presence of large amounts of fat. AFL can also be indicated by, and thus diagnosed due to...
