QUESTION

Right side heart failure mainly affect?

OPTIONS

(A) Lung
(B) Liver
(C) Spleen
(D) Kidney

ANSWER

(B) Liver

EXPLANATION

Right-sided heart failure causes systemic venous congestion because the right ventricle cannot effectively pump blood into the pulmonary circulation. The liver is a major site of this congestion and may develop chronic passive congestion and, in severe cases, a characteristic nutmeg appearance. Lung congestion is more strongly associated with left-sided heart failure. Therefore, option B is correct.
