4) Accumulation of fluid in the body
The liver also has the function of regulating the fluid balance in the body. When the liver is stressed or does not function properly, fluid may accumulate in certain areas such as the feet or abdomen. This may lead to ascites, a condition that causes abnormal swelling due to the accumulation of fluid in the tissues.
5) Abdominal pain or a feeling of heaviness in the liver area
When toxins accumulate in the liver, you may feel pain in the upper abdomen or under the ribs on the right side where the liver is located. This pain may be caused by inflammation of the liver or an increase in its size due to the accumulation of toxins, which leads to a feeling of heaviness or pressure in this area.
6) Changes in urine or stool color
If you notice a change in the color of your urine or stool, this may be an indication of liver problems. When the liver is unable to produce bile adequately, the stool may become pale or light in color. Urine becomes dark due to the increased concentration of bilirubin in the blood, which reflects that the liver is not performing its function properly.
