Hello is there any texture difference between normal and fatty liver plz tell uregent today &tommor itself plz

A normal liver is soft and smooth in appearance. Anyone who has cooked liver


for supper, knows this.


IT would depend alot on what the cause of


the fatty liver is and whether it has turned


into NASH or alcoholic fatty liver disease.


NASH means non- alcoholic steatohepatitis.


Steato means fat and hepatitis means


inflammation.





If you want to learn more about NASH, here

Inflammation of the liver cells can cause


the liver to increase in size and feel spongy.





Someone who has this inflammation caused


because of weight gain, by losing weight...


and taking medications, the inflammation can go away. This is also true if an


alcholic stops drinking. However, if the


inflammation is not treated and the cause


of the inflammation removed...it can


progress to fibrosis inside the liver leading


to scarring inside the liver and cause the


liver cells to die. When this happens,


the enlarged liver will shrink in size


(smaller than what a normal liver is) and


become hard and have nodules appear on


it surface.





With fatty liver, the fat may be on the


surface of the liver and cause no problems


at all...however, if the fat is in the cells...


it can damage the cells and cause inflammation because it blocks blood flow and nourishment and it places pressure


on the cells.





I hope this is of some help.


You may want to go to your search engine


and click up above where it says ';images';..


which is usually right above where you


type your item you search for...another


screen will come up just for images and


then you can type ';ultrasound of the liver';


';Inflammation ultrasound of the liver';


';fatty liver ultrasound of the liver';


';cirrhosis of the liver'; and it


will show you pictures.





You could also type that in your regular


web search and it will give you more information on it.
