Biliary disease: The liver is located on the right side, just under and a little beyond the lower rib cage-you may actually be able to feel it if you reach in under that area.If you have jaundice it could be from your Gilbert's, but I would still get a set of liver tests (LFTs) to see if anything has changed. An ultrasound may also be a good idea, if you have pain after eating-that may indicate a gallbladder prob.

A 29-year-old female asked:
I had a iron profile test done recently: transferrin saturation of 61 (high), s-iron of 34 (high), normal ferritin and s-transferrin. Doc isnt worried, as he said he was looking for low iron issues so high results are fine. Should I look into it?
