    Can H. Pylori cause a swollen liver?
    Basically the title sums it up. Can H. Pylori cause a swollen liver? Regular liver number is 12, was swollen to 22 if that helps.

    J,can your liver ever swell for no apparent reason and then go back to normal?

    There has to be a reason Bella. Something has to cause this to happen. It's a cause and effect kind of thing.

    Would a gallbaldder issue cause this? I'm sorry just trying to wrap my head around all of this. I sent you the list of tests done on the other spot.

    I hope it's just hemochromatosis. The best treatment for this is blood donation!

    Well, looking back, it all depends on if it's primary or secondary hemochromatosis.

    Bella, hun, I've got to get to bed. Just finished 3 shifts in a row and have 3 more to go before I have a day off. I'll keep checking in though.

    Love you! Smoochies!
