Question 1

I have an enlarged fatty liver, enlarged spleen, & 2nd stage kidney disease & i need to know if any one of those would cause a uti & an ear infection?

Accepted Answer

The conditions you described do not cause UTI by themselves. You should be under the care of a doctor to manage these illnesses so that you may prevent deterioration of liver and kidney function.

Question 2

I'm a hcv+, had a severe uti & kidney infection last month and now diag with enlarged spleen, is it related to infection in anyways, what to do,advice?

Accepted Answer

A number of infections and diseases can contribute to an enlarged spleen. .  Viral infections (like mononucleosis), bacterial infections (like syphilis or endocarditis), parasitic infections (like malaria), leukemias or hemolytic anemias.

Question 3

What could cause an enlarged spleen and a fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Fatty liver can lead to cirrhosis, and the associated portal hypertension can produce splenomegaly.

Question 4

I've read enlarged spleen from fatty liver only occurs after extensive liver damage.can a "mildly fatty liver" cause a painful enlarged spleen?

Accepted Answer

Cirrhosis causes splenomegaly through portal hypertension and splenic congestion; a mildly fatty liver should be well before this stage, and should not be the cause of a painful enlarged spleen.  You should see a doctor for further evaluation and testing.

Question 5

Can a suction abortion cause an enlarged spleen or liver problems? how long would it take to know if there was a problem or internal bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Your procedure should not cause liver or spleen enlargement. Anesthesia might cause a reaction or allergic response but these are usually discovered right away. Continued bleeding, pain, dizziness, or severe fatigue should prompt you to get immediate attention. See your Doc to address your concerns, it’s unlikely that a suction D&C caused organ damage other than uterine perforation. Take care.

Question 6

Can being obese cause an enlarged spleen?  i was severely overweight, have fatty liver, but lft's are normal. so the liver seems to be functioning fine, wondering what could cause the spleen issue?

Accepted Answer

Non alcoholic fatty liver can cause portal hypertension which is a cause of spleen enlargement. Portal hypertension means that there is increased pressure and abnormal blood flow in portal vein system. Portal vein brings blood to the liver.

Question 7

Would 2 nights of heavy drinking cause an enlarged spleen? if the liver is perfectly healthy? if so would it go back to normal not drinking alcohol?

Accepted Answer

and am not sure how you know your spleen is enlarged.  If you had some kind of scan or ultrasound, you need to be asking the doctor who ordered that test. The spleen does not enlarge in alcohol-related disease until the liver is very very sick (cirrhosis). Many things can cause splenic enlargement, and only your physician can figure it out with full history, examination and appropriate tests.

Question 8

I had blood work done  & my a/g ratio & my sgot were low but my globulin count was high. i also have enlarged spleen & liver.what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Too many illnesses to discuss in this forum.  If you have hepatosplenomegaly you need to be seen by a pcp and perhaps referred to someone with expertise in this area.  Obviously you must be seeing somebody now and being evaluated.  Ask them...

Question 9

2.5 yr old fever of 104 for 2 days no other symptoms took to doc said he has an enlarged spleen & liver.  possible causes?

Accepted Answer

Fever with enlarged spleen and liver (hepatosplenomegaly) in a child can be a variety of things. Many viral infections--Epstein-Barr and CMV in particular--could do this. Some animal-borne bacterial infections or even TB can do it as well. Finally, there are more dangerous things like leukemia and lymphoma that can present this way. Consult with your pediatrician or possibly an ID specialist.

Question 10

Have enlarged spleen&liver;low liver enzymes;hypocholesterolemia;pain in left shoulder front&back;extreme fatigue.could liver disease cause this?

Accepted Answer

From what you described, it is urgent that you go see your doctor for an evaluation.  You likely don't have liver disease, however you might have some other issue, like a blood disorder like leukemia/lymphoma that could be causing your symptoms of fatigue and your enlarged spleen and liver.  Your shoulder pain might be a separate issue, but it also could be part of this.  Again please see your dr.
