Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM.  The causes for hepatosplenomegaly are the following: -Infections (hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, rubella, etc.) -Blood disorders (anemia, thalessaemia, etc.) -Metabolic disorders -Liver diseases -Portal hypertension and many more.   Please note that hepatosplenomegaly is just a symptom, and there should be some underlying condition. Please visit your doctor for a more elaborate examination including a complete blood workup.  And yes, this condition is reversible, once the cause is treated this gradually subsides. In the meantime, you should avoid all fatty, oily food, and also meat.  I hope this information helps. Best wishes.
