5 Early signs of a damaged liver.

Liver disease can be inherited (genetic). Over time, conditions that damage the liver can lead to scarring (cirrhosis), which can lead to liver failure, a life-threatening condition. But early treatment may give the liver time to heal. If you do notice any of these signs be sure to see your doctor.

Summary

1. Bloating

This is the most common sign of liver disease, appearing in 50 percent of people who have cirrhosis, a condition in which scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue.
This happens when high blood pressure develops in your liver veins or when your liver is unable to make albumin, a protein that prevents leaks from your bloodstream into tissue. This results in swelling of the legs, ankles and the abdomen.

2. Jaundice

This condition causes darker urine and yellowing of the eyes or skin. The color is due to a high level of bilirubin in the body, which is a yellowish pigment that forms when red blood cells break down secreted by the liver. A healthy liver absorbs bilirubin and converts it into bile. Your body then excretes it in stool.

3. Bleeding

A healthy liver produces blood clotting proteins. But, a sick liver can’t and more bleeding results, so, even minor injuries may result in large bruises – and even small cuts may keep bleeding despite application of adequate pressure.

4. Confusion

One of the liver’s main functions is to remove toxins from the blood, and when it doesn’t adequately do that, toxins can accumulate in the blood, and may travel to the brain. The resulting condition, known as hepatic encephalopathy, can cause confusion, memory problems, lethargy and coma.
