How can i tell if my liver is shrinking?

Question

Heard somewhere that liver can shrink due to certain conditions. My uncle has some liver issues. How would someone know if their liver is actually shrinking or not functioning properly without medical tests?

Sneha Nair · Accepted Answer

I have been feeling bloated and tired lately and I am really worried about liver health. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms before getting diagnosed?

Vikram Rathore · Answer

I ignored my digestion issues for a long time and ended up with severe complications. A shrinking liver (cirrhosis) can only be confirmed via an ultrasound or fibroscan, so please go get tested immediately.

Beta, structural issues of the liver cannot be felt directly or cured by home remedies. Please consult a senior doctor and get your Liver Function Tests done safely.

Hey, please don't assume the worst and stress yourself out. Only a doctor can tell you if there are structural changes in your liver through proper scans, so make an appointment soon.

Sanjay Pandey · Answer

You cannot find this out on your own at home. The most practical thing is to book an abdominal ultrasound and LFT at a local diagnostic lab and show the reports to a physician.

My father had liver complications, and symptoms like fluid accumulation in the stomach or yellowing of skin are very serious. Please visit a gastroenterologist immediately for a proper checkup.
