Abstract

Enlargement of the liver, or hepatomegaly, occurs due to fatty liver disease, liver abscess, hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and carcinoma. Clinical diagnosis and PET CT scan revealed hepatomegaly with abscess in a 60-year-old male patient with a history of left laparoscopic radial nephrectomy due to cancer. The patient’s blood contained somewhat elevated levels of hepatic enzymes, including gamma glutamyl transferase (γ-GT), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and alanine transaminase (ALT), which were indicative of damage to the liver cells. Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and viral hepatitis were not reported. For a period of 12 weeks, the patient consumed oral Body Revival® liquid (BR) at a dose of 5 ml on alternate days. Physical, clinical, and laboratory examinations were conducted every four weeks. The patient’s liver enzymes were found to be within normal range following a 12-week course of BR treatment, and a CT scan examination showed that the patient’s liver had neither a confluent nor an abscess. At that time, there were no signs of liver abscess, hepatomegaly, or NAFLD.The patient had a full recovery after receiving Body Revival®.
