Diagnosing Liver Disease

Diagnosing Liver Disease

Liver disease can reveal itself subtly or through pronounced health effects. Symptoms often only occur once liver function has begun to deteriorate. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical treatment immediately.

Common liver disease symptoms:

• Jaundice
• Stomach varices bleeding
• Weakness and fatigue
• Abnormally high blood pressure
• Fluid buildup
• Liver enlargement and abdominal bloating
• Decline of cognitive function and forgetfulness
