Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Liver may be enlarged due to variety of reasons.
It may be due to infective etiology like hepatitis, Fat deposition, drug toxicity, tumour, prior infection, metabolic disorders etc.
You need proper clinical examination and few investigations like routine hemogram,RBS,LFT,Lipid profile.
Treatment may be given if there is any problem in investigation reports.
Get well soon.
Take Care
