Keep an eye out for these warning signs of liver toxicity.

1) Digestive disturbances, from bloating, to excessive gas, to frequent constipation or diarrhea may be a clue that your liver is currently impaired. Other digestive issues which can be caused by liver toxicity include unexplained persistent nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.

2) A lack of bile due to liver toxicity can result in malabsorption of certain essential energy-giving fat-soluble nutrients. Liver toxicity can also make your body less efficient at metabolizing glucose, which means your muscle cells will have increased difficulty in absorbing energy. This can lead to fatigue and feelings of weakness.

3) If your liver is compromised, it may disrupt certain metabolic processes, and can lead to unexplained fluctuations in your weight. Liver damage can also lead to INFLAMMATION – which not only disrupts your liver functions, it also interferes with your feelings of satiety. This can lead to excess hunger, and may cause you to over-eat, further contributing to weight gain.

4) A damaged liver cannot properly metabolize and clear fats and lipids from your blood stream. This can create an increase of cholesterol-rich lipoproteins, thus heightening your cholesterol levels.

5) Urine and stool discolorations can be one of your first clues that liver damage is causing your body to excrete excess BILIRUBIN - a yellow-colored pigment, produced by the liver, and stored in the gallbladder. But liver toxicity can increase your bilirubin, to the point that it reaches toxic levels. Then, your liver will begin pushing extra bilirubin out of your body through your urine and stool.

6) When the liver cannot properly filter toxins from your body, it can lead to uncomfortable or even painful INFLAMMATION in your abdomen. And liver toxicity can cause scarring of your liver tissue, and that can lead to fluid build-up in your abdominal region, causing discomfort and pain in your upper-right side.

7) Liver damage can lead to abnormal functioning of your PLATELETS - small blood cells that also help to form clots on damaged blood vessel walls. Decreased platelet function can further increase your risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

8) Liver damage can lead to a reduction in ammonia processing, and may result in HYPERAMMONEMIA – or high levels of ammonia in your blood. This condition can create neurotoxic effects on your brain, and create feelings of brain fog.

9) Liver toxicity may cause hormonal acne, excessive hair growth in men and women, irregular menstrual cycles for women, and possibly even GYNOCOMASTIA – or the enlargement of breast tissue in men. Hormonal imbalances due to liver toxicity may also lead to mood swings, fatigue, and blood sugar fluctuations.

10) Liver toxicity can lead to JAUNDICE, which presents with a yellowing of your skin, mucous membranes, and the whites of your eyes. That’s due to the same factor which can cause your urine and stool to become discolored – EXCESS BILIRUBIN, produced by a damaged liver.
