Introduction:
Fatty liver disease is a common but often silent condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. It can progress to serious liver damage if left untreated. Because early symptoms may be subtle or easily overlooked, it’s crucial to recognize warning signs that could indicate liver dysfunction. Here are six silent signs to watch for so you can seek medical advice promptly.
Warning Signs to Watch For:
Dark Urine or Pale Stools
Dark urine without dehydration or medication causes, combined with pale or whitish stools, can indicate impaired liver function. These changes suggest bile flow obstruction and warrant medical evaluation.
Enlarged Abdomen or Liver
An enlarged liver or swelling in the upper right abdomen may signal fatty liver disease progression or inflammation. This can cause discomfort or a feeling of fullness.
Fatigue and Weakness
Persistent tiredness or muscle weakness can be early indicators of liver distress, as the liver struggles to perform its detoxifying functions.
Jaundice (Yellowing of Skin and Eyes)
