What Causes Enlargement Of Liver And How To Treat It?
my daughter had a gen. exam last Thursday in preparation for her operation next week for tonsils and adenoids...and just today they called me and said that according to the test my daughter has a big liver.....so am worried and want to have infos about it...thanks
Hi thanks for asking question... Noted you have mentioned big liver. Usually you might have done USG of abdomen and diagnosed with big liver. There are lots of cause that should be evaluated like hepatitis, gall stone, non alcoholic hepatic steatosis , bile duct problem , hemolytic anemia etc...
LFT and peripheral smear examination needed with retic count and LDH estimation...
So consult doctor for rule out causes of hepatomegaly... If bacterial infection present then first treated with antibiotic...
Take care... Dr.Parth
