The liver is an organ present in vertebrates and some other animals. The adult human liver normally weighs between 1.4 to 1.6 kilograms (3.1 to 3.5 pounds), and it is a soft, pinkish-brown "boomerang shaped" organ. It is located on the right side of the upper abdomen below the diaphragm. The size of the liver increases with age and ranges between 5 cm to 15 cm in adulthood. A normal liver is less than 16 cm on ultrasound evaluation.<unk>  may be found during physical examination or on imaging studies. Imaging is more accurate in determining liver size. In some conditions normal liver may be palpated as enlarged liver including thin people, during deep inspiration, right pleural effusion, and emphysema resulting in hyperinflation of the chest with diaphragmatic descent and downward displacement of the liver. Common pathological causes that may result in<unk>  are hepatitis, storage disorders, impaired venous outflow, infiltrative disorders, and biliary obstruction.
