may indicate more advanced liver dysfunction or another serious condition.
The Bottom Line
Fatty liver disease can be difficult to recognize because many people have no symptoms during the early stages.
When symptoms occur, fatigue and upper-right abdominal discomfort are among the better-recognized possibilities. Jaundice, swollen legs and fluid accumulation in the abdomen are more concerning and can be associated with advanced liver disease.
If you have diabetes, obesity, insulin resistance or abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels, don’t wait for obvious symptoms before discussing liver health with your healthcare provider.
