Fatty liver disease is silently becoming one of the most common yet overlooked health issues today. It happens when excess fat starts accumulating in the liver cells. While it may seem harmless initially, if left untreated, it can lead to serious liver damage.

The scary part? Most people dismiss the early symptoms, assuming they’re just regular tiredness or digestive issues. Don’t make that mistake.

Here are 6 early signs your body may be giving you that point to a fatty liver:

1. Constant Fatigue and Weakness

Even with enough rest, you feel tired all the time.
The liver plays a major role in energy metabolism. When it’s clogged with fat, your body starts losing stamina, and even small tasks feel exhausting.

2. Discomfort or Pain in the Upper Right Abdomen

That dull ache or mild pressure on the right side of your upper abdomen could be your liver crying for help.
This happens as the enlarged liver pushes against other organs.

3. Sudden Weight Gain or Trouble Losing Weight

If you're gaining weight unexpectedly or struggling to lose fat despite eating right, your liver might not be processing fats efficiently.
This is especially common when visceral fat (around organs) is involved.

4. Loss of Appetite or Nausea

A liver under stress can impact digestion. You may experience:

• Frequent nausea or bloating
• Reduced interest in food These symptoms often show up in the early stages but are ignored.

5. Dark Circles or Skin Issues

When the liver isn't functioning well, toxins build up in the body.
This can result in:

• Dark circles under the eyes
• Itchy, patchy, or dull skin Your skin often reflects your internal health.

6. Trouble Concentrating (Brain Fog)

Fatty liver can affect mental clarity too.
People often report:

• Poor focus
• Short-term memory issues
• Feeling mentally “foggy” throughout the day

Don’t Ignore These Signs

Fatty liver is reversible, especially in the early stages — but only if you act on the signs.
If you notice two or more of these symptoms regularly, it’s wise to get a liver function test (LFT) and consult a doctor.
