Sign 4: Loss of Appetite and Unexplained Weight Loss
A decrease in appetite and unexplained weight loss can also be a red flag for potential liver damage. The liver is responsible for producing bile, a crucial component in the digestion and absorption of fats and nutrients. If the liver isn’t producing enough bile, it can lead to a reduced appetite and difficulty digesting food, ultimately causing weight loss.
This reduced appetite is not just about not feeling hungry. It’s more about feeling full after consuming a small amount of food, or finding that you’re eating less than usual. This lack of appetite, coupled with the body’s inability to digest and absorb nutrients efficiently, can lead to weight loss. Unexplained weight loss is always a cause for concern and should prompt a visit to your healthcare provider. (4)
