YOUR OVERALL HEALTH DEPENDS ON THE HEALTH OF YOUR LIVER
Weighing in a little over one kilogram, your liver is a complex chemical factory that works 24 hours a day. It processes everything you eat, drink, breathe in or rub on you skin; in fact, the liver performs over 500 functions that are vital to life.1
SOME IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF LIVER1:
Produces bile
Controls metabolism, blood clotting and cholesterol level
Manufactures and regulates hormones
Detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs
Stores glycogen and turns it into glucose when needed
Fights infections and filters out bad bacteria in the blood
LIVER DISEASE AND FATIGUE2
Liver disease not only reduces the normal function of the liver but also causes fatigue. Fatigue is the most commonly encountered symptom in patients with liver disease and it has a significant impact on their quality of life.
A few tests like blood tests, imaging tests, liver biopsy or endoscopy can be done to diagnose the liver disease.1 It is recommended to do a routine medical check-up for an early detection of the disease.
FACTORS THAT MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF LIVER DISEASE INCLUDE:3
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heavy alcohol use
- Family history of liver disease
- Exposure to certain chemicals or toxins
