Signs of liver cirrhosis: Liver failure
Liver cirrhosis is a liver disease that occurs when the liver gets damaged. Last stage of
liver disease is another name for liver cirrhosis. During this disease, the liver does not
perform its regular functions and ultimately causes death. Early treatment is necessary
for proper functioning of the liver. Therefore, a person should visit the doctor when
facing the following signs simultaneously.
1. Fatigue and weakness.
 The most common and prevalent sign of liver failure or liver cirrhosis is fatigue
and weakness. This happens when a person’s liver is unable to store and release
glucose to provide energy to the body. As a result, the liver of a person gets
damaged and stops proper functioning. During such signs of liver failure, a
person should visit a doctor.
2. Unconditional weight loss due to loss of appetite
 Loss of appetite and weight loss are considered to be prominent signs of liver
cirrhosis/failure. This happens when the liver does not produce the required bile
that helps in the breakdown of fats. As a result, a person may experience loss of
appetite, vomiting, and nausea. Furthermore, the sign of the liver’s disability to
process nutrients can also lead to weight loss and malnutrition.
3. Vomiting/Nausea
 In addition to that, nausea and vomiting are also the signs of liver cirrhosis. This
happens when the liver does not perform its function of breaking down toxins
and waste products in the body. As a result, toxins accumulate in the
bloodstream and cause nausea, vomiting, and many more digestion-related
issues.
4. Abdominal pain and swelling.
 Some other symptoms of liver cirrhosis include abdominal pain and swelling.
These signs of liver cirrhosis are commonly present in every patient. In case the
liver gets damaged; it results in the accumulation of fluid in the abdominal
region. Such accumulation of fluid leads to abdominal pain and swelling. If you
are experiencing such signs of liver failure, you must visit the nearest doctor.
5.Jaundice.
 Jaundice is a common sign of liver cirrhosis and occurs when the liver is unable to
properly process bilirubin. As a result, bilirubin builds up in the bloodstream and
causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. If you notice yellowing of your skin or eyes,
it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Other symptoms of
jaundice may include dark urine, pale stools, and itching.
6.Itching
 Itching is one of the earliest signs of liver cirrhosis and can be a sign of more
advanced stages as well. This symptom develops due to the buildup of bile salts
in the skin, which can cause intense itchiness or rashes that are difficult to relieve.
If you experience itching that does not go away with regular anti-itch treatments,
it may be the sign of liver failure, and is important to get checked out by a
doctor.
7.Dark Urine
 Some other signs of liver cirrhosis include dark urine. This happens when excess
bilirubin is present in the bloodstream and builds up in the kidneys. This results in
darker-colored urine. Moreover, changing the color of urine to dark or tea-like is
also the sign of liver cirrhosis. A person should visit doctor during such condition.
8.Pale Stools
 Pale or clay-colored stools are an early sign of liver cirrhosis. When bilirubin
builds up in the bloodstream, it results in an accumulation of waste products in
the intestines and may cause the stool to appear pale or clay-colored. It is
important to see a doctor if you experience this symptom as it could be a sign of
early liver cirrhosis.
