"An abnormality in the eye may be a distress signal from the liver." While examining Lao Li, Dr. Zhang told him.

59-year-old Lao Li is the head of a company, and in the face of heavy work and frequent social activities, his living habits are not ideal: he often stays up late and drinks a lot.

Recently, Lao Li felt that the whites of his eyes had turned yellow and tingled from time to time, thinking that this was just the result of excessive fatigue, but as time went on, the eye discomfort became more and more severe, which made him worried.

By chance, he met his old friend Aunt Liu while attending a community oil painting class. Observing Lao Li's abnormality, Aunt Liu inquired about his physical condition with concern and suggested that he go to the hospital for examination.

"The liver is closely related to the health of the eyes, and your jaundice can be an early warning of liver problems." Aunt Liu said.

After examination, Dr. Zhang confirmed that Lao Li's liver function was indeed impaired, and the blood test showed abnormal liver enzyme levels, which is a sign that the liver is overloaded.

"The liver is our body's core detoxification plant and metabolic center." "When something goes wrong, it manifests itself in a variety of ways, and the eye is often one of the first places to show symptoms. ”

Dr Teo further explained that yellowing of the whites of the eyes due to elevated bilirubin levels is a typical sign of liver insufficiency. In addition, metabolic disorders can cause toxins to build up in the body, which can lead to eye problems.

He reminded him that common liver problems include yellowing of the whites of the eyes, dry and itchy eyes, puffy eyelids and worsening dark circles.

"If you notice these problems, especially if the whites of your eyes are yellow, you should seek medical attention immediately." Dr. Zhang emphasized.

He also shared the case of a patient who delayed hepatitis treatment because he ignored the warning signs in his eyes, reminding Lao Li not to repeat the same mistake.

After hearing this, Lao Li was deeply alarmed and decided to immediately adjust his lifestyle and undergo a comprehensive liver function test.

For how to protect the liver, Dr. Teo recommends avoiding overwork and staying up late, maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol and fatty foods, and having regular liver function tests.

"Maintaining a regular schedule, a balanced diet and moderate exercise can help reduce the burden on the liver." He said.

Finally, Dr. Zhang emphasized that people with a family history of liver disease should pay more attention to regular check-ups to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.
