Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Coarse liver does not cause pain. Only when liver gets enlarged and its covering gets stretched you feel pain in the right upper abdomen.

Coarse echoes of liver is seen if there is any scar tissue in liver as in cirrhosis .

I hope that answers your question.
Regards.
