Signs and Symptoms

If your liver is not functioning properly, you may experience a variety of signs and symptoms. These can include:

Jaundice: A yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the bloodstream.

Nausea and vomiting: Feeling sick to your stomach and vomiting may be a sign of liver damage.

Itching: Itching is a common symptom of liver problems.

Fatigue: Fatigue can be a sign of liver problems, as the liver may be unable to effectively process toxins and other substances.

Abdominal pain and swelling: Pain in the abdomen may be a sign of liver inflammation or damage.

Dark urine: Dark urine can indicate a buildup of waste products in the body, which can be a sign of liver damage.

Unusual weight loss or gain: Unexpected weight changes can be a sign of a serious health condition, including liver problems.

Diagnosis

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, it is important to see your doctor for a diagnosis. Your doctor may order a variety of tests to determine if your liver is functioning properly, including a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan. Treatment for liver problems will depend on the underlying cause.

If you suspect that your liver may be failing, you should speak to your doctor right away. Your doctor can perform a physical exam and order any tests that are necessary to determine the health of your liver. Blood tests, imaging tests, and a liver biopsy may all be used to diagnose liver problems. Other signs of a failing liver include jaundice, swelling of the abdomen due to fluid accumulation, dark urine, and pale stools. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure is to get a professional opinion and medical tests.

Your liver can be affected by many different conditions, so it is important to pay attention to any changes you may be experiencing. If you are experiencing symptoms such as yellowing of skin or eyes, fatigue, dark urine, abdominal pain, or itching, these are all signs that your liver may not be functioning properly. Additionally, if you have a family history of liver disease, or if you’ve been exposed to certain toxins or medications, it’s important to get tested to ensure your liver is healthy. Talk to your doctor to discuss any concerns you may have and to get the appropriate testing done.

If you're concerned that your liver may be functioning abnormally, it's important to speak to a doctor. Your doctor can order tests to assess your liver health, such as a blood test to check your liver enzymes, or an ultrasound or CT scan to check for any abnormalities in the liver.

There are some signs and symptoms that may indicate a liver problem, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), dark urine, abdominal pain, bloating, or swelling in the abdomen. Other symptoms which may indicate an issue with your liver include fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and itching. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to speak to your doctor.

Your doctor may also ask about your lifestyle and any medications you are taking. Certain medications and alcohol use can increase the risk of liver damage. It's important to be honest with your doctor about any medications or alcohol use, as this can help them assess your liver health.

If your liver is found to be abnormal, your doctor will advise you on the best course of treatment. This may involve lifestyle changes such as reducing your alcohol intake, or medications to improve your liver health. It's important to follow your doctor's advice to ensure your liver remains healthy.
