The "Right Upper Quadrant" (RUQ) is a specific area of the abdomen, located on the right side and above the navel. It contains several important organs, including the liver, gallbladder, and part of the small intestine. This quadrant is often examined during medical assessments to identify potential issues related to these organs. In addition to the organs, the RUQ also houses parts of the pancreas and kidney, as well as the colon. Pain or discomfort in this area can indicate various conditions, such as gallstones or hepatitis, making it a critical focus for healthcare professionals during diagnosis.
