Best Answer

The main two causes of liver damage are Alcoholism and hepatitis.

If you have alcoholic liver damage you may have some vague symptoms such as:

  • feeling some pain in the liver (under the lower right hand side of your ribs)
  • having a general feeling of poor health and fatigue
  • loss of appetite
  • a sick, nauseous feeling, especially in the mornings and often accompanied by diarrhea.

Either of the two main causes can result in the above and these other specific symptoms. If you have any of the preceding or following symptoms, you should talk to your doctor at once.

  • yellow eyes or, in more severe cases, yellow skin (jaundice)
  • vomiting blood
  • dark black, tarry, stools
  • significant weight loss
  • periods of confusion or poor memory
