If you begin noticing your torso is starting to smell bad, but y'all feel fine otherwise, is it possible this can be early on liver disease?

What if you wash and shower and it doesn't get away? Have you been wondering about this?

Past the time liver illness causes a malodorous scent…does the patient necessarily have other symptoms of this liver disease?

"This odour is indicative of advanced liver disease," says Jeffrey Fine, Md, main of gastroenterology at the Medical Surgical Clinic of Irving.

"If a patient's condition has progressed to this land, other symptoms are likely to be present."

And those other symptoms would be some or all of the post-obit:

  • jaundice
  • upper tummy pain
  • fatigue
  • weight loss
  • distended belly
  • loss of appetite
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • chalk-colored or greyish stools.

Can a bad body smell be the merely symptom — even temporarily? And then could other symptoms would soon follow?

"More often than not speaking, by the time a patient has the bad odor associated with liver disease, they're in an avant-garde stage and other symptoms volition likely be present," says Dr. Fine.

"However, these symptoms may improve if the liver role improves."

Where in the body does this odour come from? Armpits?

"I have not seen a case where the odor simply came from the armpit," says Dr. Fine.

"In the cases I've seen, the odour comes from the lungs through the mouth."

What types of liver disease cause this bad odor?

"All types of liver disease impact body odor like this, but only if they're in liver failure," says Dr. Fine.

"The bad odour is caused by the inability of the liver to suspension downwardly proteins correctly."
