See below: Most common causes of right upper quadrant abdominal pain is biliary disease or liver disease. The differential of liver disease is broad ranging from infectious to neoplastic process.

Unusual pain: A liver does not usually cause pain unless there is an hepatitis, enlarging cyst, abscess or tunor on the surface. An ultrasound is an easy screening test for these things, as is bloodwork called lft's ( liver function test) and hepatitis panel if abnormal lft's.
