What symptoms signal problems with the liver and how to keep it healthy, Vechernyaya Moskva reports with reference to a gastroenterologist, therapist Nikita Kharlov. According to him, latent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can be found in more than 30% of the inhabitants of the metropolis.

In particular, a large abdominal circumference signals a violation of the liver, especially if excess weight accumulates only in this area. “This suggests that the organs that are overgrown with fat have little space inside, and the liver occupies most of the space,” the specialist explained.

Other signs are daytime sleepiness and sleep apnea (a breathing disorder in which a sleeping person stops breathing for short periods). Such signals are signs of a metabolic syndrome, including liver disease, Harlov said.

The doctor noted that alcohol abuse has an extremely negative effect on the state of the liver: “non-alcoholic and alcoholic liver damage can coexist, and together they kill faster than individually.”

As Harlov noted, the diagnosis of possible liver diseases, which should not be neglected, is very simple and accessible. This is an ultrasound of the liver and blood tests.
