Fatty liver disease, a growing global health concern, often develops silently but can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Experts highlight that one of its early warning signs may appear in the legs as swelling, known as pedal edema. Pressing the skin above the ankle to check for persistent indentations can help identify this symptom. Doctors emphasize that early detection, lifestyle changes, and medical guidance are crucial to prevent progression to severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and liver cancer.
