8. Swollen Legs or Ankles
Liver problems can lead to fluid retention in the lower limbs, causing swelling in your feet or ankles. This condition, called edema, is a late-stage symptom of liver disease.
9. Easy Bruising or Bleeding
Your liver produces proteins that help blood clot. If it’s not working well, you may bruise or bleed more easily than usual—even from minor bumps or scratches.
10. Brain Fog or Confusion
Toxins that the liver can’t filter properly may travel to the brain, leading to confusion, memory loss, or difficulty concentrating. This is a serious symptom known as hepatic encephalopathy.
Final Thoughts
Your liver doesn’t complain loudly—but it always leaves clues. Recognizing these signs early can help you prevent more serious liver damage.
Protect your liver by staying hydrated, avoiding excessive alcohol, eating a balanced diet, and getting regular checkups. If you notice any of these symptoms, talk to a healthcare provider right away.
