Hello,

Usually, liver enlargement may indicate some types of hepatitis or fatty liver diseases, and in most cases, it doesn't require any specific treatment. If it caused by diet, obesity, and diabetes, then dietary and lifestyle changes will be beneficial in every case. Alcohol and viral hepatitis are the most common causes and in this case, medical evaluation required.

Also if there is an infectious disease or biliary duct disorder, then you need to do some tests to rule out more serious issues that require specific medical treatment. You need to check your viral markers and do a liver biopsy if necessary.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
