Hello,

All grey coloured stools are not here to liver disorders.
Apart from grey coloured stools there will be other symptoms like yellow discoloration of the eyes, abdominal distension, complete loss of appetite and high colored yellow coloured urine which are corroborative pieces of evidence of the liver disorder. When these are not there you need not worry about the single simple of grey coloured stools.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
