T + T – normal size
The liver is an essential part of the human digestive system. It is responsible for cleaning the blood of toxins, processing drugs that enter the body, helping you digest fats, storing glucose, producing proteins for blood clotting, among many other things, making it one of the most important organs in the body.
But among the liver problems, its symptoms do not appear clearly to the patient, until an advanced stage of infection, so it is necessary to be vigilant and pay attention to the signs of liver disease.. Here are the most prominent:
the pain
Pain in the right side of the abdomen can be an indication of liver disease, because it means swelling or a tumor in the liver, which fails to convert food into useful nutrients.
overweight
Every year, more and more people start eating a healthy diet and exercising, but they still struggle with weight problems.
If you’re experiencing weight gain that doesn’t seem to be caused by overeating or a hormonal imbalance, you may want to discuss abnormal liver function with your doctor.
Allergy
Oftentimes, allergies are caused by a malfunction in the liver, and when there are too many substances entering the bloodstream, the brain recognizes them as the allergens.
yellowing of the eye
When a person’s eyes or skin turn yellow, science calls it jaundice. Jaundice itself is not a disease but rather a symptom of possible malfunctions. Jaundice usually appears when the affected liver causes too much bilirubin to build up in the digestive tract – a yellow pigment that forms as a result of the breakdown of dead red blood cells in the liver.
swollen ankle
When you ignore liver problems, the affected liver tries to “repair itself” by creating scar tissue, and the more scar tissue there is, the harder the liver will work, eventually leading to high blood pressure that causes fluid to build up in the legs.
This swelling is painless, and may affect both legs or thighs, however, the effect of gravity makes the swelling more visible in the lower part of the body, according to Sky News.
Chronic fatigue
Chronic fatigue syndrome is similar to a prolonged flu-like illness, in which a person suffers from symptoms for at least 6 months before being diagnosed with chronic fatigue, and the reason for this is toxicity of the liver, which in its normal state, contributes greatly to supplying the body with energy.
