12 Early Signs Your Liver Is Dying: What Your Feet Reveal About Liver Health

 

1. Swollen Feet and Ankles

One of the clearest signs of liver trouble is swelling in your feet, toes, or ankles. This happens when the liver cannot properly produce proteins needed to regulate fluid balance.

2. Red, Inflamed Toes

If your toes look swollen, red, or tender, it may be linked to poor circulation caused by liver damage.

3. Itchy Skin on the Feet

Chronic itching—especially on your feet and legs—can be linked to bile salt buildup from liver dysfunction.

4. Yellowing of Skin and Toenails

yellow tint (jaundice) on your toenails or skin is often one of the earliest signs of liver disease.

5. Cracked or Brittle Toenails

Nutrient absorption drops when the liver is weak, leading to fragile nails.

6. Numbness or Tingling in Feet

Nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy) can develop due to poor liver function and toxin buildup.
