Hepatomegaly
Hepatomegaly is a disease that is characterized by an enlarged liver, which means it's swollen beyond its usual or normal size. The liver has a lot of important jobs. It helps to clean the blood by getting rid of harmful chemicals that the body makes. It makes a liquid called bile, which helps the body to break down fat from food. And it stores sugar, called glucose, which gives a person a quick energy boost when one needs it. A swollen liver usually is a symptom of another health condition, such as hepatitis. Most of the time, when the patient has a slightly enlarged liver, he won't notice any symptoms. If it's severely swollen, patient may have:
- A feeling of fullness
- Discomfort in your belly
Depending on the cause of the enlarged liver, patient may notice symptoms like:
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
