Liver Palpation
In practice, one starts just below where the edge is expected (as determined by percussion), and then moves a centimeter or two up at a time until the edge is encountered.

| I’m now going to check if I can feel your liver. / Ek gaan nou u lewer verder ondersoek deur dit te voel (palpeer). / Ndiza kuzama ukuva isibindi sakho. | ||
| While I do this please breathe in and out when I ask you to. / Terwyl ek dit doen, asem asseblief in en uit wanneer ek u vra. / Ngelixa ndisenza le nto, phefumlela ngaphakathi nangaphandle xa ndikucela | ||
