HOÀNG LỘC (T/H) |

4 symptoms are often overlooked but can be an emergency signal from the liver, you need to identify them early to protect your health properly.

The liver is an organ that takes on more than 500 vital functions of the body, from filtering toxins, metabolizing energy to supporting the immune system. When the liver is weakened, the body will send warning signals. Early recognition of these signs helps reduce the risk of dangerous complications.

1. Golden skin, yellow eyes

This is a typical and most noticeable symptom. When the liver is no longer able to process bilirubin - a pigment from the breakdown of red blood cells - the skin and eyes will turn yellow. According to experts at the Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic, jaundice is one of the most obvious manifestations of progressive liver disease.

2. Dark urine, light discoloration

This unusual change reflects that bilirubin is not properly treated by the liver. Instead of excreting through the digestive tract, bilirubin is pushed into the urinary system, causing urine to turn brown or dark orange. This is an important warning sign that is often overlooked.

3. Heavy fatigue and neurological disorders

When the liver loses the ability to eliminate toxins, especially ammonia, these substances will build up in the blood and affect the brain. Patients may fall into confusion, memory loss, and even personality changes. This condition is called hepatic encephalopathy, according to experts from Johns Hopkins Medicine.

4. Abdominal bloating and rash
