What is liver parenchymal lesion?

Liver erosion lesions may be caused by conditions such as cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or alcoholic liver disease.

1. Cirrhosis

If a patient takes medications over a long period due to illness—medications that can damage the liver—and develops cirrhosis, infection may lead to ulceration of the liver, intestines, or even the stomach, resulting in liver erosion lesions.

2. Chronic Hepatitis

When chronic hepatitis is caused by viral infection, inflammation may irritate the liver and cause immune system dysfunction, potentially leading to liver erosion lesions.

3. Fatty Liver Disease

If a patient consistently has poor dietary habits, consuming excessive amounts of high-cholesterol and greasy foods, fats may accumulate in the body due to incomplete metabolism, leading to fatty liver and subsequent fibrosis, which may result in liver erosion lesions.

4. Alcoholic Liver Disease

If a patient consumes large amounts of alcohol over a prolonged period due to work or other reasons, excessive alcohol intake may damage liver cells. When too many liver cells are destroyed, this may lead to liver erosion lesions.
