Will Anesthesia(propofol) Cause Enlargement Of Liver?

I have an enlarged liver--17 by 20 cm- on a recent contrast MRI and following a endoscopic biopsy yesterday I was asked by the MD to get a liver function test. He called today and said my liver function levels were elevated. Could the anesthesia have been the cause? I think he used propofol.

No it doesn't cause any changes in liver function tests.. The cause might be something else which also caused your enlarged liver
