What Indicates Serious Liver Problems: A Hepatologist's Answer
If you want to live a happy life as long as possible, then you need to pay close attention to your health.
It is important to monitor any changes in the body and seek help from specialists in a timely manner to prevent complications.
Still, some liver diseases are asymptomatic until serious complications develop. That's why any warning signs should be taken seriously.
Hepatologist Evgeny Romanov told Medikforum more about this.
He noted that there is no pain with cirrhosis, since the liver simply lacks the appropriate receptors. But a yellow tint to the skin and itching may indicate a problem.
At the same time, Romanov noted that his palms, feet, and interdigital folds of the hands and feet itch.
In some situations, the problem can be so serious that a person begins to suffer from insomnia because of it.
In addition, as the doctor noted in a conversation with the media, loss of appetite is possible. A bitter taste may appear in the mouth, and the stomach may swell. Also, with cirrhosis, the color of feces and urine changes. There may be skin rashes.
