Liver size

Hello all,

I had an US yesterday because I have been having abdominal pain. I have gallstones, which could be a factor, but the scan also revealed a very large, fatty liver - it measured 21cm.

I have read that the upper limit of normal is 15cm.

I am reading, and planning to do everything I can to address this problem, but I am curious about one question that I cannot find the answer to: does liver size at diagnosis impact prognosis?

Thanks for any information and advice you can provide!
