If the cirrhosis is caused by viruses such as hepatitis B cirrhosis or hepatitis C cirrhosis, the liver volume shrinks because of the collapse of fibrous tissue in the liver cells, and the liver volume shrinks in the later stages of cirrhosis and cannot be felt under the ribs. In contrast, some cirrhosis is manifested as an increase in volume, and right heart failure leads to blood return obstruction, blocking in the hepatic vein and inferior vena cava leading to liver enlargement, and this kind of cirrhosis can be palpable. There are also some genetic metabolic diseases such as hepatomegaly, which leads to swelling of hepatocytes due to excessive accumulation of copper. In addition, hepatic glycogen accumulation disease, due to impaired breakdown of glycogenogen, abnormal accumulation of glycogen in the liver, also leads to swelling of hepatocytes, both of these two types of cirrhosis are manifested by increased liver volume, so they can be palpated.
