What're the signs and symptoms of liver failure?
The initial symptoms of liver failure are often ones that can be due to any number or conditions. A person with liver failure usually has jaundice, a tendency to bruise or bleed, ascites, liver encephalopathy, and generally failing health. Other common symptoms include fatigue, weakness, nausea, and a loss of appetite. In acute liver failure, a person may go from being healthy to near death within a few days. In chronic liver failure, the deterioration in health may be very gradual until a dramatic event, such as bleeding varices (large, tortuous veins), occurs. |
