Is liver enlargement in a 3-year-old leukemia patient caused by chemotherapy?

Patient's question:

Is the hepatomegaly in a 3-year-old leukemia patient caused by chemotherapy? Can it heal on its own after the completion of chemotherapy? Which foods are good for liver protection? What should be paid attention to in daily life? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

There is a certain relationship. There are many types of leukemia. I don't know which one you are referring to. Generally speaking, as long as a suitable bone marrow transplant is found, the chance of recovery is still quite high. Leukemia is generally believed to be related to viral factors, chemical factors, radiation factors, and genetics. The treatment for leukemia mainly involves chemotherapy, which eliminates functionally abnormal hematopoietic cells and some normal hematopoietic cells, and then allows normal hematopoietic cells to regenerate gradually. It is recommended that you seek treatment at a regular and professional hospital.
