Right Side Abdominal Pain, Itching All Over Body. Normal Liver Test Results. Any Ideas?

I recently had liver function tests done last week due to right side abdominal pains. All tests came back good but just today I have started itching all over. It's only been one day but I see that's a sign of liver disease. Obviously the more I think about it the more I itch so hopefully it will go away overnight but could something have been missed??

Hello,
Recently you had right side abdominal pain and your LFT were normal. Today you had itching all over which vanished immediately.
Liver is a very patient organ to show its damage in the blood test immediately.
Moreover you had pain in the right side of the abdomen. To find the cause you must take a USG/CT abdomen to rule out other causes in other organs as well as the liver and gall bladder (infection and stone) which need not alter LFT.
Basic blood test including Hepatitis (if not done) may be needed
Treat as per investigation reports
Best wishes
