A member asked:
How and when does your liver enlarge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: When something inflames your liver (viral infections, drugs, alcohol, fat), the liver swells. Usually blood tests will reflect this too. Your doctor may feel this during a physical exam and can confirm it with an ultrasound test.
