Hi and welcome to HCM,thank you for your query.
She needs more detailed gastroenteroloic work up including endoscopice methods and ct scan. it can be caused by various disorders such as IBD, pancreatic,gallbladder or colon diseases. Enlarged liver is just one of the causes but she needs to verify the exact cause of enlarged liver which is mostly due to fatty live or hepatitis.
Wish you good health. Regards.
