Echogenicity is the ability for sound waves to bounce or reflect off a surface. Echogenicity may be low or high depending on the content of the surface. Bone, gas, and fat have high echogenicity. Liquids such as urine, bile, and malignant lesions have low echogenicity.

What is parenchymal echogenicity?
Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).
What are the causes of parenchymal echogenicity?
Parenchymal echogenicity can be affected by various factors, including inflammation, fatty infiltration, fibrosis, and changes in blood flow or perfusion. Other causes may include liver or kidney diseases, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or renal parenchymal disease, which can alter the density and echogenicity of the tissues. Additionally, age-related changes or medications can also impact parenchymal echogenicity.

What causes diffusely increased parenchymal echogenicity?
There isn't enough information to answer the question. Diffusely increased echogenicity just means that the organ was more solid, but you didn't tell what part of the body or what the person's symptoms are.
What does increased echogenicity of the hepatic parenchyma consistent with steatosis is demonstrated mean?
The waves are being reflected back more than usual because of a buildup of fat in the liver, e.g. fatty liver. Can be due to excess alcohol intake.
