I have been searching on Swedish sites. And it says that a liver/spleen enlargement is often a result of a virus infection. In some cases it can be diseases that you are born with or a bacterial disease. Other things that can result in liver enlargement is alcohol some medicines and also some toxic mushrooms.

I hope you will get better soon.

Hepatosplenomegaly is the simultaneous enlargement of both the liver (hepatomegaly) and the spleen (splenomegaly).

Some causes
Hurler syndrome
Sarcoidosis
Neuroblastoma
Cytomegalovirus
Schistosomiasis

So it seems to be caused by any one of a combination of genetics, tumours, viruses and parasites.

Sorry. I wish I had better news.

thanx for the info and support everyone.

Is this a new disease, or a new word....sounds terrible...

well, i wouldn't really call it a disease. it's more of a condition. it is the enlargement of both the liver and the spleen.

[Takumi]

Hepa = liver, spleno = spleen, megaly = enlargement

Hepatosplenomegaly = enlargement of the liver and spleen.

The liver is somewhat enlarged and may be "felt" during physical exam while the enlargement of the spleen (a place designed to get rid of our old red blood cells) can sometimes be felt during exam or during X-Ray.

Enlargement of the liver is usually due to a DIRECT attack to the liver and the enlargement of the spleen is almost always due to some other conditions.

Bottom, line panadol's not gonna cut it. I can't find any reason why a medical practitioner would want to conceal such condition.

mashaAllah at bro's knowledge and inshaAllah sis all will be fine.....
