A member asked:
I have both an enlarged liver and just found out i have a very enlarged thyroid. is it possible there is a connection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Posible but unlikely: Most likely the two are not related. You should see your doctor to have them both evaluated to be sure. Two possibilities include: 1) if you have low thyroid hormone this can slow you metabolism ; contribute to an enlarged fatty liver 2) if you have extremely high thyroid hormone resulting in thyroid storm which can cause jaundice (yellow skin) ; enlarged liver, this is rare ; presents emergently.
