Brief Answer:
Liver size 14.5 cm is upper limits of normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

A liver size measuring 14.5 cm might be taken as upper limits of normal. There is no serious concern with the size.

In adult males the usual cut off for normal size of liver is 14.5 cm when measurement is taken cranial to caudal parts.

Please share your complete ultrasound scan report so that I can hemp you understand it accurately.

Brief Answer:
Liver size given is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

The report shared is showing a normal liver measuring 14.5 cm. The liver measurement is subjective and is in the normal range. There is no abnormality in the size of the liver. For the functioning of the liver please get tested for liver enzymes in your blood if your doctor suggests it.
