Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Liver In Child
My grandson is 10 years old, weighs about 185, is about 5 4 tall. He was recently told by a doctor that he has an enlarged liver. He was referred to a specialist, but hasn t been to the appointment yet. Can you tell me what causes this and what will it do to him? Also, can it be cured?

Hi...there could be many reasons for enlarged liver. The diagnosis doesn't depend on only enlarged liver, but on many other associated symptoms like - developmental delay/ seizures/ blood picture/ head size/ jaundice/ bleeding manifestations etc. So I suggest you get the evaluation done and then proceed further with questions with the background of the information you have in hand then.
