Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the burning pain side of right abdomen and back with visibly enlarged area near liver may be in relation with liver congestion or enlargement from various reasons as

- alcohol intake related
- auto immune mechanics
- chronic hepatitis
- biliary blockage
- others

However, if you can provide me details of your scan copies , I can guide further precisely in this regard. As the next step of evaluation is CT scan or MRI abdomen after initial ultrasound and lab tests are being carried out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
