I am a 65 yr old male, 5 10 , 290 pounds. I was just dx. with hepatosplenomegaly. I am have type 2 IDDM. Other than my DM diet. Should I take into account hepatosplenomegaly. I just received the DX. via mail today. I do have a follow up appointment in 10 days. Thank you
HelloHepatomegaly(enlarged liver) may be due to many reasons like hepatitis, alcohol intake, metabolic disorder, medicines,autoimmune causes etc. You may need few more investigations like routine hologram, random blood sugar, liver function test, lipid profile, urine RE/ME. Treatment depend upon findings. You may need to take few medicines. Spleen is generally enlarged(splenomegaly)due to infection like chronic malaria, typhoid,metabolic disorder etc. This condition generally doesn't require any treatment unless it is hugely enlarged, and it is causing pain and complications.
