Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Left lobe of liver enlargement is attributed to many cause, slight acute hepatitis or cholangitis ( biliary tree infection) cholecystitis, hepatitis or some metabolic issue can cause it. I am afraid this report alone is not enough and need further work up and complete clinical correlation if there are any symptoms, symptoms guided history and medical examination along with some work up to sort out this enlargement. Genae infections liek PIDs can also cause liver lobe involvement.

Talk to a hepatologist or an internist, let them run some labs and sort it out. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
