Hi,
Coarse liver parenchyma is a sonographic description indicating the loss of uniform smooth hepatic echotexture in the liver.
If hepatitis testing are -ve, then, most probably it could be due to hepatic fibrosis: hemochromatosis, or even malignancies (primary or metastasis). etc.
Liver biopsy is recommended further together with ct-scan of abdomen for further evaluation. Immediate consultation with gastroenterologist is highly recommended.
Wish fast recovery.
