Most cases of liver disease, including Fatty Liver Disease, are caused by something other than excessive alcohol consumption; here’s a list of symptoms to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although excessive alcohol consumption is frequently associated with liver disease, the majority of cases are caused by something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some cases are caused by fat accumulation, which is known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) \u2013 an umbrella term for a variety of liver conditions affecting people who consume little to no alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symptoms range from visible to almost imperceptible, according to the Mayo Clinic, an American academic medical centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How you feel when you wake up in the morning could indicate a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all get tired during the day, but waking up tired and feeling like you haven’t slept a wink despite getting a full night’s sleep is a red flag that there is a serious problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other red flags are;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Abdominal pain or discomfort in the upper right quadrant<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Swelling in the abdomen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Enlarged blood vessels beneath the skin’s surface<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Spleen enlargement<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Palms that are red<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Yellowness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Unknown cause of weight loss<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although these are NAFLD symptoms, they can also indicate other conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If the doctor suspects NAFLD, blood tests, ultrasound, and a biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients may also be subjected to a CT or MRI scan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
