Al-Marsad newspaper: Health experts revealed specific signs of liver damage, according to the Eat this Not that website.

swelling

According to the Cleveland Clinic, fluid retention is the most common symptom of liver damage.

About 50% of people with cirrhosis have cirrhosis, the most severe form of liver disease in which scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue.

jaundice

The second sign is jaundice, which is a yellowing of the eyes or skin, which is another common sign of liver damage.

It occurs when the liver cannot optimally filter bilirubin, a natural chemical produced by red blood cells, from the blood.

It can also cause the eyes and skin to turn yellow.

dark urine

Dark urine (it may be orange, amber, or brown), is another sign that the damaged liver has allowed bilirubin to build up in the blood.

stool type

To some people with liver damage may notice changes in their stools. They may be lighter than usual, from yellow to terracotta, or even gray or white.

This may indicate that the damaged liver has a problem processing bile, which turns stool brown.

Floating stools can be a sign that the damaged liver is no longer able to process fats optimally.

stomach ache

Another sign is abdominal pain, such as a dull ache, throbbing or stabbing sensation in the upper right part of your abdomen, just below your ribs.

Swelling from fluid retention (known as ascites) and an enlarged spleen and liver from cirrhosis can cause abdominal discomfort.
