Hi, l did an abdominal scan about five years ago, the result showed that my liver span was 115MM and normal in size. Days ago, l did another abdominal scan and it showed that it increased to 136MM but still normal in size. 1. Can you please explain what could be the reason for the increase in mm size, although both result stated normal in size?
