I was diagnosed with hepatomegalia, which I was told meant an enlarged liver. My bloodwork indicated there was no cirrhosis or hepatitis, nor did an ultrasound reveal any masses. The only abnormal indicator was minimal gallbladder sludge. Thought this diagnosis was good until my internet research indicated the cause still has to be looked into and could still be serious. Im awaiting an appt. with a liver specialist. Is it possible there is NOT something serious causing my liver to be enlarged if my bloodwork was normal?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor.... You have hepatomegaly .... Hepatitis has been ruled out, so no worry regarding that ....(I assume you might investigate with Bag, HCV both)Now gall bladder sludge if asymptomatic no need for treatment ... If it is symptomatic than management done with cholecystectomy.... Here for hepatomegaly also investigate with your peripheral smear to look for changes of any leukemia, thalassemia, hemolytic anemia etc.... If needed relic count and electrophoresis done for further work up...... According to PS finding further investigation guided .... Take care .... Advise : physician consultation.
