1. Swollen Feet and Ankles

If your shoes suddenly feel tight, it could be due to fluid buildup caused by poor liver function. When the liver can’t make enough albumin (a key blood protein), fluid leaks into tissues — leading to puffiness around the ankles and feet.

2. Itchy Feet

Constantly scratching your feet, especially at night? It could be from bile buildup in the bloodstream — a symptom of cholestasis, when bile flow from the liver slows or stops.

3. Yellow Skin or Toenails

A yellow tint on your nails or skin indicates jaundice, which happens when the liver fails to properly process bilirubin. This is a clear warning that your liver might be overloaded or damaged.

4. Dark Spots or Uneven Skin Tone

Patchy discoloration or brownish spots on your feet can appear when toxins accumulate in your bloodstream due to liver dysfunction. These changes often occur around the toes or soles.
