Went to the E.R., they told me that I had pain and my liver enzymes are elevated. I have a doctor appt. this week to recheck my liver and so my doctor can find out what is wrong with me. But now my pain is getting worse and my abdomen is swollen. I need to know what is going on? If you can help me with some information regarding this, because doctors don t know what is going on? Doctor: Hi. Thanks for your query Liver will be beneath the Right rib cage in the upper abdomen.So,pain there may be due to some abnormality in the Liver.It may be simple enlargement,infection,abscess,lesion etc. As your liver enzymes are elevated,you should be further investigated like Blood tests for Hepatitis A/B/C, Ultrasound abdomen,Repeat Liver function tests and even CT scan of the abdomen.  Swollen abdomen indicates that there may be some collection in the abdominal cavity.It may be simple fluid or pus.You can ask your doctor to aspirate fluid from abdomen and send it for biochemical analysis. Nothing to worry. There is treatment for majority of liver disorders. Wish you good health
