The liver is an important organ that is considered to be quite resilient and can function even when severely damaged.
It is difficult to detect problems with this organ in the early stages.
This is why it is important to undergo periodic medical examinations to reduce all possible risks.
This was stated by Dr. Maria Prashnova during an interview for the publication “ Gazeta.Ru ”.
She noted that more serious problems with this organ are usually associated with a combination of factors. Here we are talking about alcohol consumption (even in small doses), as well as viral hepatitis.
Prashnova also spoke about the signs that indicate liver disease.
First of all, she noted that increased fatigue appears, appetite decreases, and sometimes nausea may bother her.
But that's not all.
The skin may turn yellow, and the urine may darken. The color of the stool may also change.
Skin itching and bile acid metabolism disorders are possible.
In addition, the skin may change color and become yellowish. The same problem occurs with the whites of the eyes.
