How to Keep Your Liver Healthy?

The liver plays a vital role in the body. Its main function is to filter out toxins from our blood. It also helps process carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

How to detect liver issues early?

To check for liver problems, common tests include:

✔ Liver Function Test (LFT)
✔ Ultrasound scanning
✔ Advanced imaging or function tests (in some cases)

What are the common signs of liver disease?

✔ Swollen abdomen or legs
✔ Vomiting blood
✔ Confusion or altered speech
✔ Fatigue (extreme tiredness) – This is a major early symptom, but many ignore it.

By the time symptoms appear, liver damage may already be significant.

Common liver conditions seen in practice:

✔ Fatty Liver Disease – Seen in 70–80% of routine check-ups.
✔ Hepatitis B and C – Viral infections that affect the liver.
✔ Liver Cirrhosis – Advanced liver damage that can cause internal bleeding, fluid accumulation, and confusion.
