Hepatomegaly is enlargement of the liver. [4] It is a non-specific medical sign, having many causes, which can broadly be broken down into infection, hepatic tumours, and metabolic disorder. Often, hepatomegaly presents as an abdominal mass. Depending on the cause, it may sometimes present along with jaundice. [1]
Hepatomegaly: Medical imaging: Longitudinal axis > 15.5 cm at the hepatic midline, or > 16.0 cm at the midclavicular line [14] Autopsy: Weight over upper limit of standard reference range, of 1,860 g (4.10 lb) in men [12] and 1,770 g (3.90 lb) in women. [13] Lymph nodes: Lymphadenopathy: Generally 10 mm [15] [16
Treatments for heart failure include medications, an intra-aortic balloon pump, a ventricular assist device, heart valve replacements, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (if the heart failure worsens suddenly and especially if an infection was the cause), an artificial heart, or a heart transplant (from a deceased human donor, or from a pig ...
The amount of symptoms depends on how many worms and what stage the infection is in. The death rate is significant in both cattle (67.55%) and goats (24.61%), [10] but generally low among humans. [citation needed] Treatment with triclabendazole has been highly effective against the adult worms as well as various developing stages.
The treatment of chronic liver disease depends on the cause. Specific conditions may be treated with medications including corticosteroids, interferon, antivirals, bile acids or other drugs.

Both F. hepatica and F. gigantica can cause fasciolosis. Human symptoms vary depending on whether the disease is chronic or acute. During the acute phase, the immature worms begin penetrating the gut, causing symptoms of fever, nausea, swollen liver (caused by Fh8), skin rashes, and extreme abdominal pain. [42]
The most common cause is due to acquired hypercoagulability associated with myeloproliferative disorders (accounting for 40–50% of cases). [ 13 ] [ 2 ] Other acquired hypercoagulable disorders that may result in Budd–Chiari syndrome include antiphospholipid syndrome and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria , which are responsible for 10–12 ...
