An early sign of liver disease may appear at night.

Liver disease often has no symptoms in the early stages.

The UK National Health Service (NHS) explains that this condition usually only shows obvious signs when the liver is severely damaged, according to the Express.

The early stages of liver disease often do not cause many symptoms.

However, an "early" sign can appear at night, according to the British Liver Trust.

While anyone can experience occasional trouble sleeping, persistent sleep problems may indicate an underlying health problem.

And the British Liver Trust explains that difficulty sleeping or insomnia is one of the "early" symptoms of liver disease, especially in people who drink alcohol.

They explain that although the early stages of the disease often do not cause many symptoms, insomnia can still occur "early on."

According to the NHS, insomnia can also occur when people start to accumulate toxins in their brain.

They explain that this could indicate a form of “advanced” liver damage. As the liver becomes more damaged, more severe and obvious symptoms may appear.

Other symptoms of liver disease

Difficulty sleeping or insomnia is one of the "early" symptoms of liver disease, especially in alcoholics.

The NHS recommends seeing a doctor as soon as possible if you experience any of the following symptoms of liver disease:

• Yellow eyes, yellow skin
• Swollen feet and ankles
• Abdominal bloating
• High fever, chills
• Very itchy skin
• Hair loss
• Abnormally curved fingertips and nails
• Red rash on palms
• Weight loss
• Weakness and muscle loss
• Memory problems and confusion, changes in personality due to toxic buildup in the brain
• Black tarry stools and vomiting blood due to internal bleeding
• Easy bleeding and bruising, such as nosebleeds and frequent bleeding gums
• Increased sensitivity to alcohol and drugs because the liver cannot process them

However, liver disease in alcoholics does not always cause symptoms, so if you regularly drink too much alcohol, you should see a doctor, according to Express.
