Hi, yes I had a fatty liver and enlarged spleen. I was told that spleen takes over some of the functions of the liver. Mine is still enlarged after transplant I occasionally get pain from it.Hilary

Thank you for replying can i ask did you have transplant due to the fatty liver ? i been told its because of meds i take for my autoimmune disease and the fact i am diabetic . The doctoer didnt seem to worry about my enlarged spleen but never gave me a reason for it i do get pain when lying on my left side feels a bit like a stitche he wasnt to worried about fatty liver put am terrified.

Yes had my transplant due to fatty liver, NASH cirrhosis, nobody worried about my spleen pre or post transplant, I don't think it causes a problemHilary

I have non alcoholic fatty liver. I have had it for at least 10 years. It hasn’t changed in all that time. I am slightly overweight and drink within the government guidelines. I attribute it to metabolic syndrome and having had anorexia as a teen
