Patients who experience liver pain during the night are mostly caused by liver disease. Patients need to go to the hospital immediately to identify the cause and get treatment so as not to delay the condition.
Patients with liver pain need to go to a regular hospital with hepatobiliary surgery for diagnosis. Most of the tests need to check blood and urine routine, liver ultrasound, liver function, abdominal CT, and if liver lesions are found, liver cell biopsy or tumor marker tests.
Because liver disease is serious and many liver diseases are incurable and may be aggravated by untreated disease, patients need timely treatment to control their disease.
Patients who drink too much alcohol and overexert themselves can also cause liver pain. Therefore, patients need to maintain good lifestyle habits. The patient should stop smoking and drinking, get proper exercise, get enough sleep, and not stay up late to avoid damage to the liver.
Patients should pay attention to a balanced diet, with a light, easy-to-digest diet, more fresh vegetables and fruits, and more protein-rich foods, such as milk, lean meat, and soy products, to improve one’s immune system.
