Fatigue
People feel tired or complain about fatigue every now and then. It may result from over-exerting effort in performing daily tasks or cramming to meet a deadline. But sometimes, fatigue is more than just about decreased energy levels brought about by lack of sleep or exhaustion. Instead, it could indicate an underlying condition such as liver failure.
When fatigue already affects a person’s ability to function normally, they should give it a closer look and some medical attention. Likewise, people who experience severe fatigue and experience it often should have themselves checked for other symptoms and what could be its underlying cause may be.
Fatigue is a common symptom of liver failure caused by hepatitis. It may be sporadic or constant, mild or severe. There is no relationship between the level of fatigue and the severity of one’s liver malfunction. People whose liver disease is in its advanced stage may feel exhausted or not at all.
Since fatigue may be caused by other health issues, including depression, dehydration, lack of exercise, sleep disorders, and anemia, people must be adequately screened to find out the root of the problem. Proper diagnosis may help resolve the condition or at least make it bearable.
