Your feet don’t just accompany you throughout the day: they may also be transmitting information about your internal health. One of their organs? Your liver.

Known as the body’s natural detoxification center, the liver plays a vital role in filtering the blood, regulating metabolism, and maintaining overall balance. But when it is under stress or begins to weaken, the first symptoms can appear in unexpected places, such as the feet.

For illustrative purposes only

Below are 12 subtle foot-related signs that could indicate liver problems. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, it might be time to pay closer attention to your liver.

1. Swollen feet or ankles.
Swelling can result from fluid buildup, a common problem when the liver doesn’t produce enough albumin, a protein that helps maintain proper fluid balance in your bloodstream.

2. Itching of the soles of the feet without obvious cause
Persistent itching, especially on the soles of the feet and more intense at night, may be due to a buildup of bile salts, signaling problems such as cholestasis or a blockage of bile flow.
