Liver span: Normal liver span is 14-15 cm. Please do a liver function test. It is a simple blood test. Sometimes in us the span is read enlarged and it could be normal due to a normal variation named riddle lobe.

About 15-16: Cm. But depends on shape of liver and size of patient. A better test is a ct scan.
