Fatty Liver Symptoms: The liver is one of the most important organs in our body. However, nowadays, most people are unaware of any liver problems. Dr. Sarin has outlined some methods that can help you determine whether your liver is healthy or not from the comfort of your home.

Liver Disease Symptoms: Nowadays, due to changing lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and increasing obesity, the problem of fatty liver is increasing rapidly. Earlier, this disease was seen only in alcoholics, but now it is troubling common people also in the form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Fatty liver means accumulation of fat in the liver, which gradually reduces liver functioning and can cause serious diseases. But the question is, can fatty liver be identified at home? Dr. Sarin has also given an easy trick for this.

What is fatty liver?

• Accumulation of more fat than normal in the liver.
• Liver inflammation can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis.
• It is called AFLD in alcohol drinkers and NAFLD in others.

Dr. Sarin's trick to diagnose liver disease

Dr. S.K. Sarin, a liver disease specialist, explains some common household signs and habits that can help you determine if you have fatty liver:

1. Check your waist measurement

A waist circumference greater than 90 cm in men and 80 cm in women increases the risk of fatty liver. Fat accumulation around the abdomen affects the liver.

2. Feeling tired and heavy

If you feel very tired without exertion and there is heaviness or mild pain in the upper part of the stomach, then this can also be a sign of liver disease.

3. Loss of appetite or feeling like vomiting

If your liver isn't functioning properly, it can affect digestion. This can lead to a loss of appetite, bloating after eating, and indigestion.

4. Yellowing of the skin and eyes

If fatty liver progresses to inflammation or cirrhosis, bilirubin builds up in the body, causing the eyes and skin to appear yellow. This is also a sign of a diseased liver.

5. Recommend blood tests and ultrasound

If you experience the symptoms listed above, consult a doctor. Liver enzyme tests like SGPT and SGOT, and ultrasound can help determine if you have a liver problem.

Home Remedies to Prevent Fatty Liver

• Walk or do yoga for 30 minutes daily.
• Avoid fried and sweet foods.
• Take green tea, amla, turmeric and fiber rich food.
• Stay away from alcohol and smoking.
• Keep your weight under control.

Fatty liver is a silent disease that can harm the body even without symptoms. Using Dr. Sarin's tips, you can recognize the early signs at home and begin treatment in time. Remember, a healthy liver will always keep the body healthy.
