Hepatomegaly is a medical term that refers to an enlargement of the liver. This condition can occur due to various factors, including infections, liver diseases, or excessive alcohol consumption. It may also be a result of metabolic disorders or certain medications. Symptoms of hepatomegaly can include abdominal discomfort, a feeling of fullness, or jaundice, which is a yellowing of the skin and eyes. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations, blood tests, and imaging studies like ultrasound or CT scans to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
