I had a ct scan showing my liver enlarged to 19cm. I am 37yr old female, weight is apx 175 lbs. Test results state hepatomegaly liver is homogenous without focal lesion. My blood work came back as having excellent cholesterol levels. I am having a decent amount of abdominal discomfort, nausea, etc. I don t understand what could be causing my liver to be enlarged if my blood-work is fine?
