A member asked:

4.5 yrs male child with mild hepatomegaly. liver function test normal. possible cause and treatment advise if needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Imaging: Was this found on an exam or on imaging? I would discuss with your doctor imaging of the liver like an ultrasound in order to understand whether there are any underlying structural problems with the liver. If you have already had imaging I would repeat in 3 months before getting more aggressive with diagnostics
