Hello
Report suggests borderline increased size of liver.It may be due to many reasons like infection,medications etc.It is important to know about alcohol intake,obesity.
You need few other investigations like routine hemogram,random blood sugar,complete liver function,lipid profile etc.
It is good that echotexture of liver is normal.Treatment for an enlarged liver depends upon the cause.
Other organs like gall bladder,pancreas,spleen and aorta are normal.
Take Care
