Early symptoms that warn you of a liver problem

The liver is one of the essential parts of the human body, as it is responsible for cleaning the blood from toxins, and producing proteins for blood clotting, but among the problems of liver diseases, its symptoms do not appear clearly to the injured, until an advanced stage of infection, so internal medicine specialists warn the need to pay attention to a number of early symptoms, including:

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.

swollen ankle

When you ignore liver problems, the affected liver tries to "repair itself" by creating scar tissue. The more scar tissue, 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 noticeable in the lower part of the body.

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.

It is a yellow pigment that forms as a result of the breakdown of dead red blood cells in the liver.

Chronic fatigue

Chronic fatigue syndrome is similar to an influenza-like illness, in which a person suffers from symptoms for 6 months, and the reason for this is poisoning of the liver, which in its normal state contributes greatly to supplying the body with energy.
