Symptom 1 of a bad liver: Weight change

• Difficulty metabolizing fat in the body when liver function decreases
• Weight gain or loss may occur (may be one of the symptoms of liver disease. Accurate diagnosis is required.)

 

Symptom 2 of a bad liver: Itchy skin

• When liver function declines, bilirubin, a bile pigment, is not excreted properly and excessively accumulates in the blood, causing jaundice, which turns the skin and eyes yellow.
• Decreased liver function can cause skin problems such as acne or hives (since the liver is the main organ for excreting waste).
• If liver function deteriorates, itching may occur.

Symptom 3 of a bad liver: Indigestion

The liver plays an important role in aiding digestion

• When liver function declines and bile acids are not produced/excreted smoothly, fat metabolism problems occur and indigestion occurs.
• When liver function declines, problems occur during the digestive process, causing symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, and indigestion.
• If your abdomen becomes bulging and the feeling of bloating is severe, you may suspect ascites, which is a symptom of liver cirrhosis.

 

Symptom 4 of a bad liver: Change in urine color

• The liver processes and excretes waste products from the body.
• When liver function declines, urine darkens or changes color.

 

Symptom 5 of a bad liver: Fatigue and lethargy

• The role of bile produced in the liver is to excrete substances that cause fatigue.
• If the liver does not function properly, toxins accumulate in the body and there is a lack of nutrients.
• This causes fatigue and lethargy
• Chronic fatigue or feelings of exhaustion are symptoms of liver function decline.
