Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

Yes ! The pain could either be due to any liver problem, or any pathology in any of the organs inside your abdomen. However, these intra abdominal pathology might not be possible to diagnose simply by blood tests. If I were your doctor, I would also go for an ultrasound/CT scan of abdomen for this kind of chronic pain abdomen of yours before labeling only the liver as the culprit organ. Blood tests should also include a CBC, Blood sugar test, LFT, serum Amylase and Lipase. Further management would depend on the results of physical examination at the time of pain and reports of the investigations.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
