Diffuse liver disease

Introduction Diffuse liver disease refers to a manifestation of liver tissue lesions in imaging studies. Diffuse liver lesions are common in patients with hepatitis B. The liver is destroyed by long-term replication of the virus. The liver forms a cord-like proliferative fibrous tissue in self-repair, which can destroy the normal structure of the liver and gradually increase with time. Can cause liver fibrosis. Different from hepatic hemangioma, hepatic cyst, liver cancer and other space-occupying lesions, viral hepatitis, fatty liver and liver fibrosis are diffuse lesions of the liver, because the distribution of these lesions in the whole liver is relatively consistent. In addition, some older middle-aged and elderly people, the liver is relatively aging compared with young people, the interior is slightly rougher, the light spot reflection will be stronger when B-ultrasound is checked, and he will also say that he has "diffuse liver disease" on the test list. .

Cause

Due to the long-term replication of the virus, the liver is destroyed, and the liver forms a cord-like proliferative fibrous tissue in self-repair. It can destroy the normal structure of the liver. As time goes on, the degree gradually increases, which can lead to liver fibrosis.
