The result is usually a decline in the efficiency of the organ although it becomes larger,The increase in size of an organ or structure owing to hypertrophy or hyperplasia of tissue other than parenchyma. It often is accompanied by diminution of function.A visible expansion in the size of an organ that does not result from the growth of essential functional tissue. For example, the apparent enlargement of a muscle due to the accumulation of fat within it. This condition is also referred to as false hypertrophy.
