When the liver is in a lower than normal position, a condition known as hepatoptosis or floating liver, it may indicate a weakening of the supporting ligaments or structural changes in the abdominal cavity. This can result from factors such as significant weight loss, malnutrition, or certain medical conditions. While it may not always cause symptoms, it can lead to discomfort or complications if the liver becomes more mobile than normal. Medical evaluation is often necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.

Is the liver located in the LLQ?
I'm assuming you mean the lower left quadrant. The liver is located on the right hand side of the body, just below the diaphragm. So, no it is not located in the LLQ. Hope that helps. :)
