My wife got her gallblader removed due to gallstones. A couple of months later she starts having a mild pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. Liver enzymes normal. A month later a sonography showed mild hepatomegaly otherwise unremarquable. She has minor beta thalessemia. What dies that all mean? Thanks
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your wife have post cholecystectomy pain... It can be due to bile leakage over adjacent area.... So producing pain. Sometime such pain can remain for months.... Your wife having beta thalassemia minor that is congenital hemoglobinopathy. Usually asymptomatic but if hemolysis occurred due to some reason then hepatomegaly can occur as compensatory extramedullary erythropoietin. Take low fat diet.... Fruits more.... Fried and junk foods less. Take care
