Altered echotexture of liver
Hi doctor,
My son is three months old and we were suggested for ultrasound of liver and lft. The lft is normal. The scan report shows liver enlargement with 7.4cm and normal echotexture. we were asked to repeat the scan after two weeks. Now, the second scan report shows liver size of 7.49cm with altered echotexture.
What is altered echotexture? Can the echotexture be altered in two weeks?
Is it normal or is there any serious issue? Can we wait and see or does it need medical intervention immediately?
Please find the attached reports of both scans.
