The liver is the largest organ in the body. It is essential for life, performing several diverse and complex functions in the human body. It is situated at the right upper quadrant of the abdomen underneath the lower ribs. It extends approximately from the 6th rib down the right costal margin. This makes it difficult to palpate the whole organ in clinical examination Clinically, the liver size is determined by palpating and percussing the right hypochondrium and measurement made in centimetres below the costal margin. A normal sized liver may be felt below the right costal margin which does not mean that it is enlarged. Therefore this method has been found to be subjective in determining liver size
