My name is Ellen and I have an enlarged liver. I am going to get blood tests today and next week or so will have an ultrasound done. My question is, is there something I can use to bind my side u?. I can sit back in a recliner or lay in bed and I am given great relief but I cant live this way.
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... You are having enlarged liver .... You have to take care about avoiding direct pressure over liver area .... Rest done and strenuous work avoided to decrease morbidity ... Investigate with following .....-Peripheral smear blood examination -relic count -GOT and SCOTUS -Serum bilirubin -Urine urobilinogen and bilirubin etc....Then if needed Bag and anti HCV done if history suggestive ...... According to cause treatment guided. ... Above investigation will help in rule out hemolytic anemia , hepatocellular or obstructive jaundice like causes .... In your case as history not classic I suggested above investigation otherwise you can minimize above test according to history and your physical examination... Hope your concern solved. ....
