A member asked:

Hi had a abdo scan today and it showed my spleen is enlarged what causes this, i' m in good health and bloods ar good i have high ggt alright ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need for evaluation: There are many causes of an enlarged spleen, including liver disease, as indicated by your high ggt. See the website below for various causes of splenomegaly and discuss the matter with your doctor, as it is not feasible to provide a good answer without examining you. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003276.htm.
