Anatomy
The Hepatorenal recess is the most inferior part of the peritoneal cavity when a person is in the supine position. It is located posterior to the liver and anterior to the right kidney and right adrenal gland. It is a potential space and normally contains a small amount of fluid.
Clinical significance
In the context of trauma or peritonitis, fluid (blood, pus, bile, or lymph) may accumulate in the Hepatorenal recess. This can be detected using ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan. In some cases, a paracentesis may be performed to drain the fluid.
