Enlarged Spleen with End Stage Liver Disease

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. It appears that if you reach the end stage point of liver disease, then splenomegaly is almost guaranteed to follow, unfortunately.

Excuse my ignorance but what are symptoms for end stage cirrhosis and enlarged spleen. I have cirrhosis non alcoholic and enlarged spleen but no idea what stage I’m at. Top of stomach under ribs on right side is so swollen I feel it’s going to burst sometimes. Can anyone help or advise please. Thank you.

Unfortunately, its not uncommon. I was told by my dr that its because their so close to each, its easy for one to cause the other problems. Been dealing with both of mine being enlarged. Their hoping once we get my liver stable they will stop enlarging and hopefully, my spleen will shrink. They've grown 3 cm in the last 6 months.

Ok for sure I'll let u know ,I'll have to write it down to remind myself to call otherwise I'll forget. My memory has gotten so bad due to all the medications and or Liver issues.

Let me know what you find out! I'm curious too

My spleen has remained normal throughout but I know they check my spleen every appointment. I know it's common but I'm not sure why. Maybe it depends on the severity of your ESLD? My MELD was 17 at time of diagnosis and is down to a 6 now. My pancreas has benign lesions however.
