Protecting Your Liver

The liver filters toxins, produces bile, and stores energy. Conditions such as fatty liver, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer often show few early symptoms.

Risk factors: long-term alcohol use; excess weight and body fat (fatty liver); hepatitis B or C infection; and overuse of medicines, chemicals, or supplements.

Warning signs of liver trouble: fatigue, yellow skin or eyes (jaundice), nausea, fullness under the right rib cage, and unusually dark urine.

Diet change, moderating alcohol, and regular exercise remain central to preventing and slowing liver decline.

PNC offers Liver Care and Liver Detox IV to support hepatic recovery, plus viral hepatitis and GI/liver cancer screening.
