    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.

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

    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!
