Had An Ultrasound Of Liver And Spleen, Mild Coarse Echotexture, No Enlargement. Not Overweight. Am I Okay?
Hi....... I just had an ultrasound of my liver and spleen as 4 months ago my spleen measured 12.5cm on a cat scan. Everything else on cat scan was normal as was all bloodwork. Now on my ultrasound spleen is same size and liver has mild coarse echotexture but no enlargement or anything else. Again all bloodwork normal. I do drink alcohol.... Sometime a lot.... Sometimes none.... I'm not overweight and very active..... Should I proceed with further testing?

Hi welcome to health care magic forum.
I dont think you need just do regular follow up and check your liverf and spleen measurments in 6 months by US or ct scan. This is commonly seen in healthy people and probably isnt indicating anything or there could be some asymptomatic infection which caused enlarged spleen.
Hope I have answered your query.Wish you good health.
