Can large liver cause death?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By itself, no: However, the illness that caused the enlarged liver may be deadly. Anything from congestive heart failure to any of the inflammatory liver diseases t tumor in the liver to amyloidosis to some others. Cirrhosed livers may be large, small, or midsized. Find the cause and do not accept "enlarged liver" as a diagnosis.
