Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that requires hospitalization. Many people do not have any liver damage symptoms until serious liver problems have already developed slowly and silently.

Liver failure occurs if the liver has lost all of its function due to cirrhosis caused by different liver diseases, signs and symptoms of liver failure is what we will discuss in this post.

What are the common causes of cirrhosis?

-Hepatitis B & C
-Alcohol-related Liver Disease
-Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) & Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH)
-Autoimmune Hepatitis
-Bile duct disease such as Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC)
-Metabolic diseases such as Hemochromatosis, Wilson disease and Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

What are the symptoms and signs of liver failure caused by cirrhosis?

For some people, cirrhosis is diagnosed unintentionally. Cirrhosis often does not have any specific signs and symptoms in the early stage. The non-specific symptoms may be:

-Nausea
-Loss of appetite
-Fatigue
-Diarrhea
-Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)
-As cirrhosis progresses, symptoms and complications can appear that make it apparent that the liver is not doing well.
These could be the symptoms of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) and other complications due to cirrhosis. In addition to Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), following complications are signs of liver damage or cirrhosis:

-Fluid build up and painful swelling of the legs (edema) and abdomen (ascites)
-Bruising and bleeding easily
-Enlarged veins in the lower esophagus (esophageal varices) and stomach (gastropathy)
-Enlarged spleen (splenomegaly)
-Stone-like particles in gallbladder and bile duct (gallstones)
-Liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma)
-Chronic liver failure indicates that the liver has been failing gradually, possibly for years.

If the liver is failing, a liver transplant may be needed in some cases.

Well said and educative.
Yet getting a regular medical check up is the best. At least once in a while. But the problem in this part of the world is money, and poor health scheme and system and GOVERNMENT. Buha.. lipsrsealed
