7 Symptoms of Liver Toxicity

Ten signs of Liver TOXICITY: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
abdominal bloating pain or discomfort over the liver – (right upper abdominal area under the rib cage) excessive abdominal fat; pot belly; or a roll around the upper abdomen trouble digesting fatty foods had your gallbladder removed acid reflux/heartburn dark spots on the skin commonly referred to liver spots overheating of the body & excessive perspiration acne/rosacea or itchy, blotchy skin unexplained weight gain and inability to lose weight even with calorie restriction

Bonus: Urine Changes Urine may become dark yellow in color due to increased levels of bilirubin in the body’s bloodstream, which the damaged liver is unable to eliminate via excretion through the kidneys. Bilirubin is a bodily fluid which is produced through the natural breakdown of bile, and is normally eliminated through bile and urine. It is believed to function as a cellular-level antioxidant, but excessive amounts can lead to toxicity. Uncontrolled reflexes and eye movements, seizures, and neurological impairments can all result from chronically high bilirubin levels. Dark urine can be caused by many different factors, and it isn’t something to be alarmed about if it does not occur on a continuous basis. Dehydration, gallstones, infections of the bile duct, and enzyme deficiencies can all cause changes in the color and composition of urine. If your urine is persistently dark yellow or brown in color, or if it is unusually malodorous and pungent, you should visit your doctor for a diagnosis.

Bonus: Stool changes Liver damage frequently causes a number of changes in bowel movements. Typically, these symptoms present in one of three ways: you may experience constipation, symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, or changes in the color and makeup of your stool. Any or all of these symptoms may appear in patients suffering from undetected and untreated cases of liver disease or cirrhosis. Constipation is the impaction of bowel movements, which harden in the lower abdomen and become very difficult to pass. While constipation is something that happens from time to time, if it becomes chronic, it could signal a problem. Symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) include alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea, abdominal pain, and a frequent, sudden, and urgent need to pass bowel movements. Finally, people with liver disease may experience changes in stool including unusually pale color, a thick, tar-like consistency, or the presence of blood in your bowel movements.
