Is it liver cancer to see strong echo in liver?


Building bridges to better health.
Strong echo in the liver may not necessarily be liver cancer, but may be intrahepatic bile duct stones, intrahepatic calcifications, benign liver tumors, heterogeneous fatty liver, etc., which should be judged comprehensively in combination with other examination results, and pathological biopsy should be performed if necessary. Strong echo in the liver may not necessarily be liver cancer, but may be the following conditions: 1. Intrahepatic bile duct stones: Cholestasis and precipitation in bile duct form stones, which can be shown as strong echo on ultrasound examination. 2. Calcification focus in liver: traces left by previous liver inflammation, injury or parasite infection, etc., which will also show strong echo under ultrasound. 3. Benign liver tumors: hemangioma, adenoma, etc., usually also strong echo performance. 4. Heterogeneous fatty liver: When the fat distribution in the liver is uneven, similar hyperechoic changes may also occur. 5. Other: echo of the blood vessel wall in the liver, ultrasound artifacts, etc. may also lead to hyperechoic in the liver. To clarify the specific cause of hyperechoic in the liver, it is necessary to combine other test results, such as liver function, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), liver CT or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sometimes pathological biopsy may be needed to confirm liver cancer. For patients who find strong echo in the liver, they should seek medical attention promptly. The doctor will formulate further examination and treatment plan according to the specific situation. For high-risk groups, such as long-term alcoholics, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, family history of liver cancer, etc., liver ultrasound or other related examinations should be performed regularly in order to early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. Proper treatment and follow-up under the guidance of a doctor is very important.
