Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Do not panic.
Please review the pic u have sent me.It does not sow anything.
An enlarged porta hepatis lymphadenopathy maybe infective in origin...usually found in Chronic hep b ,Hep c infection.But gut infections can also cause hepatic lymphadenopathy.
I could help you better if you can tell me the reason why an ultrasound was done.
Consult your gastroenterologist if the problem persists
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
