Question
What factors or diseases could lead to a 10-year-old child’s liver appearing enlarged in an ultrasound?
Answer
Hello, the liver is the largest blood storage organ in the human body, divided into two lobes with uneven sizes. What you mentioned may not necessarily be caused by disease. Factor or disease one: Humans are unique life forms with individual differences. If the liver is large but without significant liver function issues or B-ultrasound abnormalities, there may be no need to worry. The only precaution is to avoid being crushed by heavy objects, as the liver can easily rupture. Factor or disease two: long-term alcohol consumption. It is recommended to have multiple follow-up checks for your child’s condition.
