Important Signs Of Liver Damage

Chronic Fatigue

Chronic fatigue is when an individual feels constantly tired, drowsy, consistently drained and lacking energy, and total exhaustion for no viable reason. Although many conditions can cause chronic fatigue, it is another common symptom of liver damage or disease, also known as hepatitis, regardless if the hepatitis was initially caused by a virus, excessive alcohol or fat consumption, or a genetic disease. The type of fatigue a patient experiences can be intermittent or constant, as well as mild or completely debilitating.

There is currently no relationship between the severity of the liver damage and severity of the fatigue. Some patients with very mild liver damage can experience debilitating fatigue while those who have severe liver damage or liver disease may not experience any chronic fatigue at all or vice versa. Chronic fatigue affects every individual differently and is a classic symptom of many other conditions as well.
