Liver margin slight irregularity generally refers to the presence of mild liver fibrosis. The details are as follows:

Liver fibrosis is a pathological process in the liver. When the liver is injured, hepatocytes undergo repeated destruction and regeneration, leading to diffuse excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the liver tissue, resulting in liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis is usually caused by chronic liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis B, alcoholic liver disease, and fatty liver disease. Patients commonly experience symptoms including fatigue, decreased appetite, and discomfort in the liver area. For treatment of liver fibrosis, patients may take medications such as diammonium glycyrrhizinate enteric-coated capsules, silybin capsules, or polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules under medical supervision. If left untreated, liver fibrosis may progress irreversibly and lead to liver necrosis.

It is recommended that patients seek medical evaluation at a hospital and follow standardized medication regimens under a doctor's guidance to avoid adverse reactions. Additionally, maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid greasy, spicy, and irritating foods such as fried chicken, chili peppers, garlic, and ginger.
