I can't imagine any reason IC would cause your liver to shrink. There may be some medical reason for it to, but none that I can think of off the top of my head. I can look in my old nursing/anatomy books and see if I can find an answer for you though. That's one question I haven't heard before. Did he say it could have something to do with the IC? Also, why was your uro checking your liver? :confused: Was he just being thorough?

I dont think its due to ic, most likely you were born with a smaller liver

Personally, I've never read anything about IC affecting the size of one's liver.

Some medications can affect the liver. You may want to ask the dr. about it.

The best thing you can do is ask your doctor about this. :)

I am so embarrased. I meant to ask if IC causes a bladder to shrink. I have my liver on my mind lately.

Well, to that answer yes, IC can make your bladder shrink. It can also cause your brain to shrink! LOL! I am testiment to that!!!!
