Liver Cystic

A liver cyst is a rare condition in which fluid-filled cavities form in the liver. These formations can cause discomfort and even pain in the liver. In this article we will look at the main symptoms and causes of this disease, as well as its possible health consequences.

This is one of the signs of problems with the biliary tract. However, in the case of a liver cyst, jaundice can occur not only due to impaired bile excretion, but also due to increased bilirubin in the blood. - Fatigue. The liver plays an important role in the metabolism and synthesis of certain hormones. With a liver cyst, these processes are disrupted and the body begins to suffer from a lack of energy. - Enlarged liver. If there are cavities filled with fluid in the right region of the liver, this can lead to its enlargement.

The reasons for the appearance of liver cysts are still not completely clear.
