Symptom #2: Abdominal Pain

Stomach pain is not always caused by bad food. It may be a sign of a diseased liver that may lead to an increase in its size or hepatomegaly. Causes of liver disease include some medications and inflammatory diseases like hepatitis. Moreover, prolonged assault and injury to the liver due to excessive alcohol intake can cause significant enlargement of the organ. When the liver presses against other abdominal organs, you can feel pain on the upper right-hand side of the body.

To establish the specific cause of the enlarged liver symptoms, and hence determine the right treatment, full blood tests and liver tissue tests may be performed. Medication is prescribed in some cases such as viral hepatitis, whereas withdrawal of offending drug or alcohol can reverse or slow the progress of the liver disease.
