Your liver and gallbladder work together to digest fats and remove toxins from your body. However, early symptoms of trouble are often mild. Because of this, many people ignore them until the condition becomes serious. Early diagnosis, therefore, is extremely important.
At Excel Hospital, we focus on prevention, early detection, and expert treatment.
How Your Liver and Gallbladder Support Your Body
Liver Functions
Your liver detoxifies your blood, regulates hormones, produces bile, and stores energy. Even a small injury to this organ can disrupt your digestion.
Gallbladder Functions
Your gallbladder stores and releases bile. This helps your body break down fats efficiently. When it doesn’t function well, digestion becomes difficult.
Common Symptoms You Should Never Ignore
Persistent Pain in the Upper Right Abdomen
A dull ache under your right ribs may indicate:
- Hepatitis or fatty liver
- Gallstones
- Gallbladder infection (cholecystitis)
Yellow Skin or Eyes (Jaundice)
This happens due to a rise in bilirubin. It often suggests:
- Liver dysfunction
- Blocked bile ducts
Nausea After Fatty Meals
Feeling sick after eating oily foods may point to gallbladder overload.
Dark Urine or Pale Stools
Changes in color may signal an issue with bile flow.
Abdominal Swelling (Ascites)
This usually occurs in advanced liver disease.
Unexplained Fatigue
When the liver struggles, your energy levels drop.
Itchy Skin or Easy Bruising
Poor liver function affects blood clotting and bile processing.
Why These Problems Occur
Liver problems may result from:
- Hepatitis A, B, or C
- Alcohol misuse
- Fatty liver
- Autoimmune disorders
Gallbladder issues often develop due to:
- Gallstones
- Blocked bile ducts
- Infection
- Inflammation
A sedentary lifestyle, obesity, poor diet, and uncontrolled diabetes also increase risk.
