The liver is an organ approximately the size of a football. It sits just under your rib cage on the right side of your abdomen. The liver is essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances.

Liver disease can be inherited (genetic) or caused by various factors. Liver problems can also be caused by a variety of factors that damage the liver, such as viruses, alcohol use and obesity.
