Remember, an enlarged spleen isn't a specific disease but a sign of an underlying issue.
I have cirrhosis of the liver, which causes an enlarged spleen. BUT it took me 38 years to get to this point from the Hep virus. So don't worry. There is no rush if it is Hepatitis. Liver disease progresses very, very slowly. A few days won't make a difference as far as your liver is concerned. There are many causes for an enlarged spleen other than Hep and liver disease so if you are still concerned.
Isn't there another doctor at the office who can at least get you setup for testing?
Take care of yourself.
Please follow up and let us know how you are doing.
