2 of 15Abdominal pain of a particular type is an important indicator of fatty liver. While all of us have had belly aches at one point or another, sensations can vary. Sometimes, pain is accompanied by stabbing, cramping, or burning sensations — this differs for each source of pain. Intensity can have levels, too.
For instance, patients with fatty liver report abdominal pain to be not just acute but also dull. Determining the area where the action takes place also matters. Fatty liver leads to discomfort in the upper abdomen. More specifically, the area of the abdomen that is the right upper quadrant. This is the location of the liver. The belly pain can be constant or can come and go. It is frequently misdiagnosed as a stomach issue.
