where is your liver?

The liver is located in the upper right part of the abdomen. Here are some specific details about its position:

• It is situated below the diaphragm and under the rib cage on the right side of the body245.
• The liver is positioned above the stomach, right kidney, and intestines2.
• It is anchored in place by tissue and connected to the abdominal wall by the falciform ligament5.

In normal anatomical conditions, the liver is always on the right side of the body, although in rare cases such as situs inversus, it can be located on the left side3.
