Ultrasound Scan Report Shows Enlarged Spleen, High Hemoglobin, Low HDL Levels. Reason For Enlarged Liver?

Hi, I recently had an ultrasound scan that indicated that my spleen is enlarged. Some bloods also reported that my HDL C levels are low and that I have high heamoglobin levels. I have HCV however, the scan reported that the condition of my liver is OK. I feel well and have no apparent symptoms. If my liver is ok what other causes could there be for the enlarged liver?
