How do I identify liver problems?
Symptoms indicating issues with the liver include right upper abdominal pain, yellowing of your skin, or the whites of your eyes because of high bilirubin levels in the bloodstream.
The following symptoms could be indicative of liver problems:
- Abdominal pain or discomfort in the upper right part of your abdomen that worsens when you lean to the left, for example, while lying on your back. This is the location of the liver.
- Pain under your right rib cage. This can also be a sign of a gallbladder problem or pancreatitis, but it's less common than signs from other organs underneath this area - such as inflammation from nearby organs. If you have signs from both areas, then this would be a good time to see a doctor further about determining if one area might be inflamed and leading signs into another area where they aren't expected to happen.
One of the early signs of problems with the liver is a change in skin color. If the skin has an uneven light and dark appearance, it may be a sign that something's wrong.
