Dr. Anurag Shetty warns that early-stage liver disease often presents as persistent fatigue, nausea, reduced appetite, and unexplained weight loss, which are frequently ignored by patients.
Advanced symptoms requiring urgent medical evaluation include jaundice, abdominal fluid collection, vomiting blood, and changes in consciousness or memory.
Doctors recommend annual blood tests and ultrasound examinations for individuals with diabetes, obesity, or a family history of liver disease to detect damage before it becomes irreversible.
