Understanding Fatty Liver & Liver DamageFatty liver disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells, impairing its function. It can progress to severe liver damage if unmanaged. Common signs include skin rashes or spots (as shown on the legs in the image) and systemic symptoms like fatigue.
Symptoms of Liver Trouble1. External signs: red spots on skin, yellowing of nails (as highlighted on the toe), or jaundice.
2. Internal effects: inflammation of the liver (illustrated in the anatomical cutaway) leading to impaired detoxification.
3. Advanced stage: a “dying liver” may cause severe pain, digestive issues, or mental confusion.
Managing & Reversing Fatty Liver- Diet: cut sugary & fatty foods; eat fiber-rich veggies, whole grains, and lean protein.
– Exercise: regular physical activity helps burn triglycerides stored in the liver.
– Avoid alcohol: limits additional liver stress.
– Medical checkups: monitor liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and follow a doctor’s treatment plan.
When to Seek HelpIf you notice persistent skin changes, nail discoloration, or abdominal discomfort, consult a healthcare professional for liver function tests and personalized advice.
