Last year at this time I was very sick.  I went to GI dr. and had an abdominal ultrasound and I was diagnosed with fatty liver, a tumor of 1cm on my left kidney and a large spleen of 13.6 cm.  My GI told me to loose weight and he would check it out in one year.  I have lost 47 pounds since then and totally changed the way I eat to healthy only and drink nothing but water.  I have just gotten the results of my yearly ultrasound.  There is no presence of fatty liver, tumor is gone, but my spleen is 13.7.  My doctor said that to continue eating how I am eating and he would check my spleen again in one year.  I am worried about my spleen it has been this way for a year and I am scared there is an underlying problem that is causing it and it needs to be addressed.  What should I do?
Hi, thank you asking Chat Doctor. I do not think there is anything to worry about here. The size of your spleen is within the normal range (7 to 14 cm). The spleen is considered enlarged when it is from 15 cm upwards. There is no problem with your spleen. I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you. I wish you good health
