Increased liver echogenicity at ultrasound examination reflects degree of steatosis but not of fibrosis in asymptomatic patients with mild/moderate abnormalities of liver transaminases. Dig Liver Dis, 34 (2002), pp. 516-522 View PDFView articleView in ScopusGoogle Scholar 37. Joseph A.E., Savery...
Infiltration within the liver occurs predominantly along the sinusoids and results in the non-specific signs of hepatomegaly, increased echogenicity at US with hypoattenuation at CT mimicking steatosis and heterogeneous enhancement following contrast medium administration. Elastography demonstrates increased ...
There may be a diffuse increased echogenicity and consequently poor definition of the portal vessels. Changes in echotexture and echogenicity fall broadly into the categories of diffuse or focal changes, with hyperechoic or hypoechoic features. The liver margins should be examined for changes in contou...

A: sagittal image of the right lobe (RL) of the liver demonstrating the normal increased echogenicity relationship between the normal liver and normal right kidney (RK). B: A transverse image demonstrating the normal homogeneous echo pattern of the liver and the three main hepatic veins, the ...
Fatty liver was diagnosed in the presence of two or three of the following three criteria on ultrasonographic evaluation: increased hepatic echogenicity compared to the spleen or the kidney, blurring of the liver vasculature and deep attenuation of the ultrasonograpic signal [16]. This has an adeq...
Hyperechogenicity is judged by comparing hepatic parenchyma to falciform fat and to the spleen (liver is normally hypoechoic compared to spleen). Kidneys may appear hyperechoic because of increased renal tubular fatty vacuolation. Ultrasound examination should carefu...
Last updated: August 14, 2024 Summary Acuteliverfailure (ALF) is a severe condition characterized by rapidly progressiveliverinjury, hepatic encephalopathy , and impaired synthetic function, which results in coagulopathy . The most common causes are infections (e.g., viral ...
Chemotherapy-associated steatohepatitis (CASH) may be diffuse or focal and can be seen on ultrasound (US) as increased parenchymal echogenicity and beam attenuation [3]. Steatosis may also be visualised on computed tomography (CT) and is characterised by decreased parenchymal attenuation (Fig.1) [...
Figure 1 shows that in both female and male, a nonlinear relationship was observed between the nonHDLc/HDLc ratio and the risk of NAFLD after adjustment for potential confounders. The NAFLD risk increased with the nonHDLc/HDLc when nonHDLc/HDLc ratio was ≤3.5 for both genders. The HR for ...
