10 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Symptoms
Symptom #3: Enlarged Spleen
The spleen is an organ which helps to filter blood. It helps to remove blood cells that are old while it also acts as a blood reserve. While it is possible to live without a spleen, it is only usually removed as a last resort because removing it can seriously impact the immune system.
One symptom of this type of liver disease is that the spleen can become enlarged. Quite often there are no other symptoms and the enlargement may not be noticed until a thorough examination is performed on the patient. Treating an enlarged spleen will depend on what is causing it.
