A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my hubby's having a enlarged liver. is this a disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes indeed: Some guys have an extra lobe to the liver that makes it feel big. Emphysema patients have their liver pushed low by their lungs, making it seem big. Otherwise, we need to find the cause. Anything from alcohol to lack of exercise / NASH / prediabetes to chronic hepatitis to hemochromatosis to (don't miss this) wilson's to some others.
