The incidence of palpable liver and spleen in the postpartum period.

Abdominal examination was performed in 75 healthy women after normal delivery. The liver was palpable in 23 patients, the spleen in nine. The author believes that these organs were palpable because of ptosis rather than enlargement. Knowledge of this fact should keep the physician from attributing undue importance to the presence of a palpable liver and spleen in the postpartum period.
