can a blood test show liver problems? I had a blood test they said nothing showed up.. But my upper right hand side is always hurting. (above the stomach!)

Best answer:

Answer by Paul C
Well, the liver is actually near the stomach, on the right-upper side of the abdomen, underneath the lower ribs. If you had tests specifically directed on the liver and they showed no modifications, than probably that is ok. However, only an ecography or a CT will show for certain. The symptoms might indicate gastritis or ulcer.
The symptoms for liver failure are detailed wonderfully by the poster below, and I must subscribe to his oppinion. STOP DRINKING!!! It will kill you eventually, have no doubt about it. And indeed it’s not pretty. The maximum amount allowed by physicians is 25 grams pure alcohol a day, that being 1/2 liters of beer, or a 200 ml glass of wine. Any more will destroy the liver.
