Liver Pain Causes. Causes of liver pain are not just a few but in fact quite a few owing to the importance of the organ. They give rise to liver pain of differing nature which may be categorized as acute or chronic liver pain, and sharp or dull liver pain. The causes can be listed as the following:-. 1  The most common cause of liver pain is a condition known as fatty liver, which is characterized by the excess accumulation of lipid molecules in the liver which causes it to swell. 2  Liver disorder of a chronic nature may be responsible for cirrhosis liver pain.
Patients with liver disease may develop acute or chronic pain from a variety of causes. In addition to causes common in the otherwise healthy population, those with advanced liver disease may have ascites (leading to abdominal and lower back pain) and gynecomastia (leading to mastalgia). Management of pain in patients with liver disease raises special concerns. The choice of appropriate analgesic agents requires a thorough understanding of their pharmacokinetic and side effect profiles (table 1). As a general rule, patients with mild liver disease can be treated with a similar choice of drugs as those who are otherwise healthy.
