What causes pain below right rib?

1. Liver disease. For example, acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc. can cause pain below the right ribs. The liver is located in the right abdomen. If the liver is diseased, the liver and spleen will become inflamed and swollen, which will then pull on the liver capsule and cause liver pain, which will involve pain below the right ribs.
