ET and slighty enlarged liver?

I just had a ct scan for another reason and it said I had mild hepatimegaly (enlarged liver). Does anyone know if that could be caused by ET? Thanks!

In this reference:

"(ET) patients can present with splenomegaly, hepatomegaly..."

The enlarged spleen is well known in MPN but apparently enlarged liver can also be a symptom. But it doesn't make clear whether "mild" is included here.

I’d make sure I got a copy of the CT report. Send a copy to your blood nurse with your concerns. I think the liver makes platelets.

Not what you're looking for?
