Common inflammatory conditions with lupus can include:
• Peritonitis (inflammation of the abdominal lining)
• Vasculitis (inflammation of intestinal blood vessels)
• Lupus enteritis (inflammation of the bowel wall)
• Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) If you're experiencing abdominal swelling or discomfort, your doctor can help diagnose any underlying inflammatory conditions and work with you to develop an appropriate treatment plan. They may need to adjust your current medications or recommend additional treatments to help manage inflammation.

I have an enlarged spleen. I don't know the exact cause, but I have had a fatty enlarged liver for at least 5 years.
