What reason is calcification inside liver caused

summary

According to the relevant data, the incidence rate of intrahepatic calcification is rising in life. What does the calcification in the liver mean? Intrahepatic calcification refers to the scar formed after inflammation of liver parenchymal cells. Generally, it doesn't matter. Some patients may drink it. Patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones also have the feeling of stuffy swelling in the liver area. If they are diagnosed, they generally don't need treatment. There are calcifications in the liver, which may be the partial calcification of intrahepatic bile duct wall. In fact, calcification in the liver and fibrotic scar of local necrosis of liver tissue are limited to the similar hyperechoic mass and acoustic shadow of stones, but generally do not cause hepatobiliary dilatation.

What reason is calcification inside liver caused

First, internal calcification refers to the strong echo or high-density images similar to stones in the liver on B-ultrasound or CT images. It is more common in people between 20 and 50 years old. Generally, single calcification is more than left liver, and it is rare to have left and right liver calcification at the same time.

Second: can cause intrahepatic calcification, the most common factor is intrahepatic bile duct stones. There is chronic inflammation or trauma in the liver, followed by parasitic infection, including benign liver tumors and liver metastases. In addition, there are congenital development of the fetus in the uterus, the formation of intrahepatic calcification, often combined with congenital malformations.

Third, the calcification of intrahepatic bile duct stones is characterized by strong echo mass with sound shadow in the back, which usually appears as beads in intrahepatic bile duct. If there is a liquid dark area around the strong light mass, accompanied by proximal bile duct stenosis and distal bile duct dilatation, it is more likely to be diagnosed as intrahepatic bile duct stones.

matters needing attention

CT can clearly show the location and size of intrahepatic bile duct stones, as well as the shape and accompanying lesions. Enhanced scan can also determine the limited mild bile duct dilatation and liver atrophy which are difficult to be shown by B ultrasound, and can exclude other lesions.
