Diagnozing Symptoms of Liver Trouble

Signs of liver trouble usually don't appear until a liver problem has caused some damage or even compromised liver function in some way. In many cases, liver function tests will reveal symptoms of liver trouble before outward signs make their presence known. This is another reason you should have an annual physical that includes liver blood tests.

But many individuals never go to a doctor until it's clear they have a health problem. These people won't find out they have a liver problem to fear until some of the following liver trouble symptoms begin.

Pain in the liver area is the symptom that motivates most people to see their doctor. But there are also these other signs of liver trouble.

* Unexplained coughing on a regular basis without any symptoms of a cold or the flu.

* A feeling of fatigue or weariness that won't go away.

* Occasional, unexplained nausea, fever and vomiting.

* Frequent headaches are common.

* Bowel habits will change, and you may have constipation and diarrhea more often.

* Lowered appetite and unusual weight loss are common liver trouble symptoms.

* Pain in the muscles and joints.

* Throat pain and a runny nose.

People with liver trouble often notice a heightened sensitivity to light and certain smells. Some odors may be especially intense.

Liver trouble symptoms that indicate a serious liver problem include urine that is darker than usual, stools that are lighter than usual, and yellowing of the skin and eyes. This yellowing is known as jaundice..

Another of the more serious liver trouble symptoms is a condition called hemochromatosis, which causes an excessive accumulation of iron in the liver. Symptoms of hemochromatosis include

* increased blood sugar levels,

* feeling unusually tired,

* impotence in men and a lack of interest in intimacy in women,

* women may also experience reduced menstruation,

* liver function test results that are abnormal,

* thyroid problems, most often hypothyroidism (commonly known as low thyroid or underactive thyroid),

* pain in the abdominal region,

* arthritic pain that is particularly bothersome in the hands and fingers.

Liver trouble symptoms should be taken seriously. People usually don't think about liver health as often as they think about their heart or lungs. But your liver plays a huge role in your overall well-being. Once liver function ends, there's only one way to survive: a liver transplant.

Any pain in the liver area or other liver trouble symptoms listed above should be checked out by a medical professional without delay. As with any condition that threatens your health, your chances of a successful outcome for your liver trouble secreases as more time goes by.
