Liver Health: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore & When to See a Specialist

Liver Health: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore & When to See a Specialist

Your liver is one of the most hardworking organs in your body — responsible for filtering toxins, digesting fats, and maintaining your overall metabolism. Yet, liver diseases often go unnoticed until it’s too late.

At NIHS – Nepal International Health Services, we focus on early detection and treatment of liver conditions, helping you stay healthy and prevent long-term complications.

🧠 Why Liver Health Matters

The liver performs over 500 vital functions, including:

• Detoxifying harmful substances
• Storing energy and nutrients
• Producing essential proteins and enzymes
• Supporting digestion and metabolism

When your liver doesn’t function properly, it can affect your entire body — from digestion to skin health and immunity.

⚠️ Common Warning Signs of Liver Problems

You should never ignore these symptoms:

1. Persistent fatigue or weakness
2. Loss of appetite or sudden weight loss
3. Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
4. Abdominal pain or swelling
5. Dark urine or pale stool
6. Itchy skin
7. Swelling in legs or ankles

Even mild symptoms can indicate early liver damage or fatty liver disease.

🩺 When to Visit a Liver Specialist

If you experience any of the above signs, it’s time to consult a hepatologist. You should also schedule a liver checkup if you:

• Consume alcohol regularly
• Have diabetes, obesity, or high cholesterol
