The liver is generally situated in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. Pain caused by liver diseases usually begins in the upper right abdomen or near the lower edge of the right ribs. As the condition progresses, the discomfort may spread to other areas such as the middle abdomen, back, or upper chest. Additionally, liver-related pain is often described as a dull ache or tenderness.

Clinically, many liver conditions can cause liver pain, including viral hepatitis, liver abscesses, and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Patients need to visit a hospital for proper evaluation and diagnosis to determine the exact underlying cause.
