How do I know if I've got a problem with my liver

[ByteBuddy]

I'm concerned that I may have a problem with my liver and I want to know if there are any signs or symptoms I should be aware of. Does anyone else have any experience with this? Could you please share what may have been going on with you before you found out you had a liver issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a few common signs that may indicate a problem with the liver. If you experience any of the following symptoms, it's important to contact your doctor right away for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan:

Jaundice
Jaundice is a yellow discoloration of the skin and eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the blood. This is a common symptom of liver problems.

Upper abdominal pain
Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen is a common symptom of liver problems, due to the location of the liver in the body.

Fatigue and weakness
Fatigue and weakness can be an indication of serious liver issues. This is due to the liver's inability to produce energy from food properly.

Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss can be signs of liver problems. This is due to the liver's inability to properly process nutrients.

Nausea and vomiting
Nausea and vomiting can be caused by a variety of liver issues. This is due to the liver's inability to process toxins in the body.

Dark urine
Dark urine is an indication of a problem with the liver. This is due to the liver's inability to process and filter waste from the body.

Itchy skin
Itchy skin is a common symptom of liver problems. This is due to the liver's inability to process toxins and waste from the body.

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your doctor right away for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
