Not sure if I should post this here or not, but I am hoping that someone could help me out with some information regarding liver enlargment.
They aren't sure at this point what is causing it. Had all the blood work done, nothing showed up. The mri showed an enlared lvier etc... I dont' understand the report, of course.
This has me a bit concerned as I'm not sure of the implications of this.
In december of 01 I had an emergency gal bladder surgery with complications. My liver enlarged and I had pancre****, both of which seemed to have calmed down, the liver enzymes went back to normal. Doc said there was no guarantee that the liver would not enlarge down the road.
What I don't understand is why? I need cholesteral medication and take Zetia, which is supposed to not effect the liver. Since the cholesterol isn't coming down they had wanted to put me on somethign else, which is why they did the mri, to check the liver's progress since the last enlargement.
I also have an elarged left thyroid with a tumor in it that is very small but at this point not showing any signs of cancer. Coudl one be related to the other? Is the anemia from the liver enlargment? Lack of appetite from the liver?
