What are the symptoms of inflammation of the liver? Anonymous customer's question

Pharmacist's answer:

Symptoms of liver inflammation can vary depending on the cause and severity of the inflammation. In some cases, liver inflammation can occur without noticeable symptoms, while various signs of the disease may appear in others.

Common symptoms of liver inflammation include:

• Fatigue: severe fatigue and a general decrease in energy are common symptoms of liver inflammation.
• Abdominal pain: pain or discomfort in the upper right part of the abdomen, where the liver is located.
• Loss of appetite: Decreased appetite and weight loss are common in people with liver inflammation.
• Weakness and exhaustion: weakness and a feeling of exhaustion can occur due to inflammation and general weakness of the body.
• Jaundice: yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes, which results from increased levels of bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice can be associated with severe forms of liver inflammation.
• Fever: inflammation of the liver can be accompanied by fever and chills.
• Changes in the color of urine and stool: The color of urine may change to dark yellow, while the stool becomes lighter.
• Joint pain: some people with hepatitis or other forms of liver inflammation report joint pain.

In some cases, liver inflammation occurs without obvious symptoms, especially in the initial stages of the disease. Severe forms of liver inflammation, such as acute hepatitis, can cause severe symptoms and require urgent medical attention.

If you have symptoms that indicate liver problems, consult your doctor. Diagnosing hepatitis usually requires blood tests and other diagnostic procedures, depending on the cause of the symptoms.
