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?

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.
