I've been dealing with chest pain and my doctor recommended an ultrasound of my whole abdomen. They found that my liver is enlarged, measuring 156 mm. Could you tell me what the normal size for a healthy human liver should be?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The normal size of a human liver is approximately 120-150 mm. In your case, with a measurement of 156 mm, it indicates hepatomegaly or an enlarged liver. This could be due to various reasons such as fatty liver, hepatitis, or other underlying medical conditions. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm dealing with this chronic pain under my left rib cage, and it seems to act up mostly when I sleep on my left side. The pain isn't unbearable, but it's happening quite frequently. I also feel like the area beneath my left and right rib cages don't feel the sameis this normal? I remember getting hit by a cricket ball there as a kid. Could that have something to do with it? What might be going on?
The chronic pain under your left rib cage, exacerbated by sleeping on your left side, could be related to a possible rib injury or fracture from the childhood cricket ball incident, leading to conditions like costochondritis, intercostal neuralgia, or rib tip syndrome; consult orthopaedician

I'm experiencing some burning sensations around my chest and it's been going on for about a year now. It comes and goes, but its mostly on my left side and sometimes it even extends to my left hand. I've had an endoscopy, echocardiogram, and X-ray, and everything showed up normal. My doctor mentioned it might just be in my head, but I still feel it almost every day. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Any ideas or suggestions?

I've been taking Cirrosam 400 mg and Ursocol 300 mg once a day for the past three days, and my SGPT and SGOT levels are close to 150. I'm wondering if it's okay to drink alcohol while on these meds or if that could be harmful?
-It's not safe to consume alcohol while taking Cirrosam and Ursocol, as both medications are used to support liver function, and alcohol can further strain the liver. It's best to avoid alcohol during this treatment to prevent potential liver damage. Alwa
