Why it happens:

A damaged liver produces less albumin, a protein that keeps fluid inside your blood vessels.
When albumin drops:

Low albumin → fluid leaks into tissues → swelling in the legs.

Main causes:

• • Cirrhosis

• Chronic hepatitis

• Fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

• Alcohol-related liver damage

Habits that worsen it:

• • Eating salty or processed foods

• • Drinking alcohol regularly

  • Sitting or standing for long periods

  • Lack of movement or exercise

• Ignoring early liver or circulation symptoms

Swelling in the legs is often one of the earliest warning signs, especially for people with long-term liver stress.
