5 symptoms that show your liver is in poor health

Itchy and irritated skin

Intense itchy skin is a common symptom of poor liver function. When the liver cannot eliminate waste stored in the body, it causes an annoying reaction on the skin.

Itching and irritation are caused by a buildup of bile products in the blood, which then end up on the skin.

Mood or psychological changes
When liver cells are damaged or damaged, they cannot filter toxins properly. This leads to a buildup of harmful substances in the blood, such as ammonia. This phenomenon can in turn have significant psychological effects.

You may have more difficulty concentrating, constantly forget things, or feel confused all the time. If left untreated, liver damage or cirrhosis can seriously affect the mood or personality of the person suffering from it.

Chronic fatigue
Feeling chronically exhausted is also a telltale sign of poor liver health. Like the psychological effects of liver damage, fatigue is caused by the buildup of toxins in the blood.

Swelling of the legs and ankles
Swollen legs or ankles can be a sign of many different disorders, including poor liver function.

If the liver is not working properly, it may not be able to produce enough albumin. Albumin is a protein that prevents blood from flowing from blood vessels into surrounding tissues.
