Our health depends on the liver, which carries out a number of vital tasks, including removing toxins from the blood, promoting digestion, and metabolising nutrients. Detecting liver disease early is crucial for successful treatment and prevention of further complications. Here, we explore some early signs of liver disease and ways to combat them.

Fatigue: Unexplained and persistent fatigue can be an early warning sign of liver disease. Yellowing of the skin and eyes: It is a common symptom of liver disease, abdominal pain. It may be accompanied by bloating or a feeling of fullness.

Unexplained weight loss: Sudden and unexplained weight loss can indicate your liver is malfunctioning. Changes in urine and stool, swelling in abdomen or legs, are some other signs of liver disease.

Prevention strategies: A balanced diet low in saturated fats, sugars, and processed foods can help protect your liver. Limit alcohol consumption, exercise regularly, get vaccinated and regular check-ups are some other steps you have to follow to prevent the disease.
