A member asked:
How do u classify hepatomegaly based on size-my usg says 20 cm so is this mild, moderate or massive hepatomegaly and what are their respective causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
20cm: Measures are better than mild etc. But that is larger than most. Alcohol, hepatitis, tumors, cysts scarring and cirrhosis will reduce size over time.
