Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Shen Yonghua
Early symptoms of poor liver function may involve several aspects, specifically as follows:
1. **General fatigue**: Liver problems may lead to malabsorption of nutrients and impaired energy metabolism, resulting in overall fatigue and tiredness.
2. **Jaundice**: This is characterized by yellowing of the skin and sclera, as well as darkened urine, due to a decreased ability of the liver to metabolize bilirubin.
3. **Discomfort in the liver area**: Some patients may experience dull pain or discomfort in the liver region, which may be related to liver inflammation or enlargement.
Please note that the symptoms mentioned above are not specific indicators of liver dysfunction and may also be associated with other diseases. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention and undergo relevant tests for an accurate diagnosis.
