Hepatomegaly means the liver is enlarged.
Some people have no symptoms, while others may notice discomfort in the upper right abdomen, fullness, jaundice, tiredness, or swelling related to liver disease or another underlying problem.
Imaging helps confirm that the liver is enlarged, assess its texture and blood flow, and look for causes such as fatty change, congestion, inflammation, or masses.
Ultrasound, CT, and MRI help confirm enlargement and may suggest the cause, such as congestion, fatty change, inflammation, or mass lesions.
Management depends on the underlying reason for the enlarged liver rather than the enlargement itself.
