8. Muscle Weakness
There are many causes of muscle weakness, including alcoholic and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. People experiencing trouble lifting common objects that haven’t experienced muscle spasms or overuse injuries should seek medical care.
Muscle weakness and muscle loss commonly accompanies excess fatigue. Muscle loss seems to correlate with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance either precedes or is the result of fatty liver. People with muscle weakness may experience muscle wasting, which can make fatty liver disease progress faster.9De Bandt, Jean-Pascal, et al. ‘Muscle Loss in Chronic Liver Diseases: The Example of Nonalcoholic Liver Disease.’ Nutrients, MDPI, 1 Sept. 2018, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6165394/#:~:text=Recent publications highlight a frequent, muscle loss promotes disease progression.
