Brief Answer:
Can you upload the results for comprehensive review?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this finding of a swollen liver and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I have revised your information fully and it is difficult to tell what the exact cause of this swollen liver is without taking a look at what the laboratory findings suggest. Some causes of swollen liver are infections( like the hepatitis), fats accumulation(common in fat persons and those who drink so much alcohol,...) etc. Also, medications could be the cause.
Because there are several possibilities, I will like t review your results and offer a second opinion after a comprehensive review. You can scan your reports and attach them as a file right here and I would be able to access them. As soon as I review them, I would return to you with my thoughts and suggestions.
For now, be calm and relaxed. The good news is that there is nothing threatening that must be addressed immediately. However, it simply gives us time to be logical and methodological in approaching and resolving this problem that you have reported. Let's focus first on making the right diagnosis before rushing to treatment.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, let me know what your take is and whether it is possible to provide the required documentation.
