What Causes Severe Pain In Liver While Having NAFL?

I have been diagnosed with NAFL (by CT Scan) and I have had high uric acid w/gout for 3 yrs. I have pain, sometimes severe, in liver area especially after eating. I also take Protonix for GERT. Blood test are normal. I am 25 lbs overweight. Due to pain in stomach have not been exercising. Can not find out what is causing the pain and losing weight has been impossible. What should be done to determine the cause of the pain now?

Hi there,

Given your problems of pain after eating, the most common cause of your pain is likely stones in your gallbladder. The easiest way to diagnose this is to get a right upper quadrant ultrasound to look for stones in your gallbladder. If you do have stones, and you can continue to have pain after you eat, the treatment is to have your gallbladder removed by a general surgeon, which is usually an outpatient procedure.

I hope this answers your questions. Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions.
