What does the term 'hepatomegaly' refer to?

  1. Liver shrinking

  2. Liver enlargement

  3. Kidney dysfunction

  4. Heart enlargement

The correct answer is: Liver enlargement

Hepatomegaly refers to the enlargement of the liver, not its shrinking. Option A is incorrect. It also does not refer to kidney dysfunction (option C) or heart enlargement (option D), as those are conditions related to other organs in the body and not the liver.
