Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your mother's situation and problem.
Yes, you are right about ultrasound examination of abdomen. It should be done first to rule out liver metastasis or liver enlargement.
If this is normal then no need to worry for metastasis.
Get done liver function test (LFT). This includes Bilirubin, SGPT and SGOT levels.
In some cases liver on ultrasound can be normal, but if liver function tests are raised then Hepatitis can be the cause for her right sided abdominal pain.
So get done liver function test.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your mother.
Thanks.
