Liver pain

Liver pain – liver pain is caused by stretching of the liver capsule.

Pain in the liver area may be caused by enlargement of the liver(viral hepatitis, liver congestion due to heart failure, enlargement caused by a liver tumour, injury) and by distension of the gallbladder(inflammation of the gallbladder, gallstones), which causes pain.

If you have pain in the liver area, always see a doctor.
