A member asked:

Pain on upper right abdomen. pancreatic enzymes are normal. ultrasound came back fine except fatty build up on liver. could that be causing this?

Unlikely cause: Fatty liver is unlikely to cause acute pain. It may cause fullness sensation in the RUQ theoretically if live capsule is stretched. See your internist again if pain continues.
