4. Muscle Wasting
If your legs look thinner, weaker, or less muscular without intentional weight loss, it could indicate advanced liver disease.
Why it happens: The liver plays a key role in protein metabolism. When it's damaged, the body may break down muscle tissue for energy, leading to muscle wasting (sarcopenia). This is often most noticeable in the legs.
What to look for:
-
Legs looking thinner than before
-
Difficulty climbing stairs or standing from a seated position
-
General weakness in the legs
-
Unexplained weight loss
When to worry: If you notice muscle loss without trying to lose weight, see your doctor.
