Enlarged Liver and Spleen

In severely affected individuals with Hurler disease, accumulation of GAG causes enlargement of both the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly). The liver may also be enlarged in individuals throughout the spectrum. The large liver does not usually cause liver problems, but it can interfere with eating and breathing.
