[00:00:06]If your urine becomes unusually dark, even when you are well hydrated, it may mean the liver is not processing bilirubin properly.

[00:00:15]Pale or clay-colored stools may also indicate liver problems because bile is not reaching the intestines correctly.

[00:00:23]These changes can signal issues with bile production or bile flow and should never be ignored.

[00:00:30]Sign number six, pain in the upper right abdomen.

[00:00:35]Pain or pressure in the upper right side of the abdomen, where the liver is located, can be another warning sign.

[00:00:43]When the liver becomes inflamed or enlarged due to infection, fat buildup, or chronic damage, it may press against nearby structures and cause discomfort or pain.

[00:00:54]If you experience persistent pain in this area, especially after eating fatty foods, it may indicate that your liver is struggling.
