In the early stages, it is difficult to detect liver problems. The thing is that there are no nerve endings in the organ, which means that a person may not even suspect the disease, since he does not experience pain.
Gastroenterologist Valeria Lomova spoke about this in more detail, Moslenta reports.
She explained that the organ can grow larger. Hence one of the first signs of the problem is heaviness in the right hypochondrium.
Patients may then experience weakness and bad mood.
Particular attention should be paid to the skin.
There may be itching, yellowing, swelling and unexplained bruising.
The doctor also noted that bleeding gums and nosebleeds can signal liver disease.
As for the reasons, they can be very different.
For example, obesity, alcoholism, hepatitis, immune or genetic disorders. Problems can also be caused by taking certain medications.
