12 Warning Signs Your Liver Sends You

6. You gained more weight lately

Eating a cheat meal per week won’t affect anybody, but what if you eat normally and as balanced as possible but out of nowhere you gain some weight? Does the scale scare you? This is also an indication that your liver is not working properly.

We were talking earlier about cirrhosis; a liver disease which is probably the worst. When you have cirrhosis your healthy liver tissues are being replaced by the damaged ones blocking the blood flow, and of course the organ doesn’t work properly anymore.

7. You lost more weight lately

As a reverse to the previous symptom, when you have liver disease one of the things that is serious is losing weight unexpectedly.

Of course, most of us are happy when we are losing some weight that was stubborn enough to stay there for the whole season, but when it’s happening too fast it’s actually pretty bad.

This one is also a sign of hepatitis C, a serious infection that leads to cirrhosis.

8. Your palms are turning red

Doctors say that this symptom appears mostly in people who have a fatty liver. This doesn’t mean that you’ve been drinking too much alcohol. In fact, those who barely touch alcoholic drinks are having this issue. A quick check-up from your doctor is the best way to find out what the cause of the issue is.

It’s for sure a red flag, but don’t panic! Identifying the problem in the very beginning might make it easier to treat.
