Why does liver enlarge?
Patient: My liver is minimally enlarged showing diffuse increased parenchymal echotexture. no focal sol is seen. Intra hepatic biliary radicals are not dilated. Portal vein measures 10mm in diameter at porta. in a USG of upper abdomain. My SGPT 98 U/L. SGOT 74 U/L. Bilirubin total 0.7nmg/dl. Lipid profile is normal. Doctor: HiDont worry.Increased echogenisity of liver means its fatty liver.it means accumulation of fat in hepatocytes.It causes increse in size of liver.its due to so many factors.increased intake of carbohydrate diet , diabetes , alcohol , overweight. Fatty accumulation in liver causes deranged liver function and thus abnormal liver function tests. Try to avoid risky life style.fatty liver is reversible.LFT comes to normal.Thank u With best regards
