Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor .... Noted you have swelling over liver area and cause not identifiable... Which investigation have you done??? Here first hemolytic anemia should rule out by relic count and peripheral smear examination with electrophoresis.... If still cause not found then liver biopsy may be needed to rule out alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency or metabolic liver disease.... Detail history through parents and examination needed to look for any metabolic disease like glycogen storage disease.... You can discuss all these with your doctor, and you might get cause for liver enlargement.... If needed complete liver profiling also done... Liver biopsy also useful for identification of embryonic malignancy....If you need USG and CT scan like investigation useful. Hope my suggestion will help you.... Take care//// Chat Doctor. .
