Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure within the artery that connects the lungs and heart. It forces the heart to work harder to transfer blood between the heart and lungs, which may lead to an enlargement of the right side. Thyroid problems, whether they involve an underactive or overactive thyroid, can cause a heart to enlarge.
As a result, there is fluid back-up in the right side of the heart, and consequently the vena cavae and the liver. With fluid back-up in the liver, we see liver enlargement and can also see ascites, which is fluid within the abdomen. Less likely, is that the use of prednisone caused the liver enlargement.
