Condition analysis:
It means that both the liver and spleen have become bigger than their normal sizes. Liver and spleen share common blood circulation via the hepatic portal system, hence many disease processes affect both organs. Malaria, kala azar, viral hepatitis, obstruction to portal and hepatic veins, cirrhosis, and blood cancer are some known causes.
