How to know if my liver is not functioning properly?
The liver is a biliary organ, an endocrine gland that is part of the digestive system. Its function is to synthesize proteins, fats, cholesterol, filter and produce blood, maintain the immune system against infections, detoxify harmful substances, and essentially restore the balance of the entire organism. Let's look at the symptoms that tell us something is wrong:
- Jaundice, spots, acne, skin problems
- Strange taste in the mouth, poor digestion, nausea, gas
- Constipation, strange-colored stools, intestinal spasms, bloating
- Anemia
- Sudden weight changes
- Sleep problems
- Urinating more at night than during the day, and the urine is cloudy
- Pain under the right ribs, headaches
- Fluid retention.
