Enlarged liver is also known as hepatomegaly. An enlarged liver isn't a disease. It is a sign of an underlying problem, such as liver disease, congestive heart failure or cancer.

Treatment for enlarged liver involves identifying and controlling the underlying cause of the condition.

Talk to your doc who ordered the scan. It is his job to diagnose your condition. He has the data we don' from the information you provided.

Prothrombin time (pt) time test is 87.5% ???
A PT blood test that measures how long it takes blood to clot. The reference range for prothrombin time is usually around 11-16 seconds. I don't understand your % reading. Wouldn't this mean your blood clots quicker then normal?

Good luck.
