[|Human|] My son aged 21 was told he had an enlarged liver. On a cat scan it measured 22 cm long and 17 cm on the right midclavicular line. He is 6 1 and about 150 lbs. All his blood work came back normal. Could this be his normal size or could it be enlarged due to taking an antibiotic for acne?
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The report suggest the liver is enlarged in size for sure as normal ranges up to 14 to 16 cm.2. Antibiotic can cause the enlarged liver but not to this extent after a singe course of antibiotics.3. In this case I would recommend getting an LFT liver function test that will evaluate the possible cause.4. Enlarged liver is also seen in case of alcohol abuse with fatty changes - it's better to avoid if there is excessive consumption.5.Finally, an BIOPSY will be definitive if no cause identified. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ? Do not hesitate to ask.http://doctor.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.
