Q: what does it mean in the conclusion of my results from an ultrasound that: "cirrhotic liver parenchyma without evidence of hepatic observation"

: Probably you have cirrhosis, i.e. serious scarring of liver tissue. However, ultrasound diagnosis usually requires confirmation by other tests, like liver biopsy. There are several possible causes of cirrhosis; discuss with your doctor. (Are you are misreading "observation"? Maybe "obstruction"?) Good luck.
