Liver enlargement, also known as hepatomegaly, is a medical condition in which the liver becomes larger than normal. Our private clinics in Montreal, Laval and Longueuil offer a complete evaluation of this condition, which can have a variety of origins. A swollen liver can result from a number of factors, including infections, metabolic disorders, excessive alcohol consumption or certain chronic diseases. Our doctors use advanced diagnostic techniques to precisely identify the causes of hepatomegaly and propose a personalized treatment plan. Early management can often prevent complications and significantly improve prognosis.
Symptoms of hepatomegaly may vary according to the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Patients frequently report right liver pain or discomfort in the right upper abdominal region. This pain may intensify with movement or palpation. Fatigue is another common symptom, manifesting as a persistent feeling of exhaustion and a decrease in usual energy. Some patients develop liver jaundice, characterized by yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, often indicating more advanced liver dysfunction. Other manifestations may include loss of appetite, nausea, a feeling of early satiety with meals, and sometimes abdominal swelling. In some cases, patients may notice changes in the color of their urine or stool.
Untreated liver hypertrophy can lead to a number of serious health complications. The main risk is progression to liver failure, where the liver gradually loses its ability to perform its vital detoxification and synthesis functions. This progression can compromise drug metabolism, the production of essential proteins and the regulation of blood coagulation. Hepatic fibrosis represents another significant risk, which can progress to irreversible cirrhosis if the underlying cause is not treated promptly. Patients are also at increased risk of infection due to reduced hepatic immune function. In some cases, hypertrophy can exert pressure on adjacent organs, causing respiratory or digestive complications. Early detection and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent these complications and preserve long-term liver function.
