A physical exam to detect enlarged liver. Your doctor may determine your liver is enlarged by feeling your abdomen during a physical exam. The doctor can estimate the size of your liver by feeling how far it extends below your rib cage. Your doctor may also note the texture of your liver.
Normally, the edge of the liver emerges just to the lower edge of your right rib cage; it is thin and firm and cannot be felt except, in some people, during a deep inhalation. Even if you take a deep breath, an enlarged liver may or may not be palpable to a medical practitioner.
