What is a coarse liver?
A coarse liver is a liver that has an uneven surface, with raised areas and depressions. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:
* Cirrhosis: This is a condition in which the liver is damaged and scarred, leading to the formation of scar tissue.
* Alcoholic liver disease: This is damage to the liver caused by alcohol abuse.
* Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: This is a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver, leading to inflammation and damage.
* Hepatitis: This is a viral infection of the liver.
* Liver cancer: This is a type of cancer that starts in the liver.
A coarse liver can also be a sign of other underlying medical conditions, such as:
* Diabetes
* Obesity
* High blood pressure
* Heart disease
* Kidney disease
If you have a coarse liver, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
