Swelling in the feet
When the liver does not function properly, fluid retention starts occurring in the body, causing swelling in the feet, ankles and toes. This swelling increases gradually and does not reduce even after rest.

Itching in the feet
In liver disease, the flow of bile is affected, due to which bile salts get accumulated in the body and this causes itching in the skin, which is often more in the legs.

Pain and heaviness in the legs
Due to liver damage, toxins get accumulated in the body, which can cause heaviness, numbness or pain in the legs.

Veins protruding
In the case of liver cirrhosis, there is a hormonal imbalance, due to which blue veins start emerging in the legs, which are called spider veins.

Yellowing of the skin
When the liver does not process bilirubin properly, its levels increase in the body and this causes the skin and eyes to turn yellow. Yellowness is also clearly visible in the skin of the legs.

Weakening of muscles
In serious liver related diseases, the muscles of the body start shrinking, due to which weakness and fatigue is felt in the legs.

Change in color of feet
Liver problems affect blood circulation, which can cause the feet to turn blue, purple or dark.
Tingling and numbness
Liver problems affect the nervous system and cause tingling or numbness in the feet.
These signs seen in the feet can point to a serious liver problem. If any of these symptoms persist, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately so that timely treatment can be done and the condition of the liver can be improved.
