Hello,

It could be also due to hepatomegaly that is enlargement of the liver. Please do an investigation of serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and serum bilirubin.


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

Regards,
Dr. Qazi Ammara
