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.....
