Doctor Olga Malinovskaya told how to suspect that problems have begun with the liver, if nothing hurts and practically does not bother.
The liver, unlike others organs may not signal for a long time that there are problems (and, perhaps, they last quite a long time). It is sometimes called the “silent organ”.
Usually, a person learns that the disease is progressing when the skin and whites of the eyes begin to turn yellow, and fluid (ascites) accumulates in the abdomen.
– Pain is not typical for liver diseases, since the organ is devoid of nerve endings. Liver problems manifest differently. One of the signs that something is wrong with the organ is a violation in the digestive system, – the specialist told Dr. Peter.
The second alarm signal is a sudden loss of appetite. For example, when a person who does not suffer from a lack of appetite suddenly refuses the usual products and loses weight, without dieting and without increasing physical activity.
The third sign, at first glance, is not connected with the liver at all. We are talking about memory impairment and problems with concentration.
—A liver that functions defectively is unable to remove toxins from the body in time. They accumulate in the body, preventing organs, including the brain, from working normally – attentiveness and the ability to concentrate on important tasks are reduced because of this, – said Malinovskaya.
