Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello , I recently had an US for right side abdominal pain . My liver in enlarged at 20 cm and I have fatty liver . All my liver enzymes are normal . I do drink maybe 1 weekend a month . Is 20 cm considered super enlarged ? I have not been contacted by my physician yet .
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is nothing but fatty liver. It is an early sign of alcoholic hepatitis.
All you have to do is stop drinking. If you continue to drink even after this stage, you may progress to end stage liver disease where liver transplantation may be the only option left.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
