Please tell me what happens when the liver swells?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: swelling is usually due to inflammation of the liver - and that can cause dull, achy pain due to stretching of the capsule (the liver itself has no nerve endings). uncontrolled inflammation can lead to scarring or cirrhosis in time.
