⚠️ 10. Itching (pruritus) on the soles of the feet

⚠️ 11. Sensitivity or numbness in the feet

📌 Important note:
These symptoms alone are not a diagnosis, but should be taken seriously in combination or with other symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, or jaundice. If you suspect liver problems, you should consult a doctor – a simple blood test (liver function tests such as AST, ALT, gamma-GT, bilirubin) can clarify a lot.
