A member asked:

Ct scan result: liver is mildly enlarged in size 18cm cephalocaudad extension. no liver lesion is identified. is this a serious result?

Not really : Sometimes liver can be mildly enlarged with no obvious reasons most of the time it is benign but to be on safe side. I will advise you to see a hepatology
