A member asked:

Is hepatomegaly is a cause of fear?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hepatomegaly: Means enlargement of liver. Its significance depends on severity and how liver function is affected. You must get to bottom of this, because it can mean something serious. Go see a liver specialist if your liver is truly enlarged and your liver function tests are abnormal.
