What is the normal size of the liver in the adult male and what is an enlarged liver for ultrasound purposes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on body size: Usually measure liver edge from bottom of ribs on right hand side of body when person is lying flat on back. Also, if person develops cirrhosis of liver from imbibing too much fruit of the vine then liver shrinks in size.
