Symptoms Pointing to Cirrhosis of the Liver

Liver cirrhosis is the scarring of liver due to a number of diseases or conditions affecting the liver. Cirrhosis is defined to a late stage of scarring, making it crucial to get treated at a liver cirrhosis treatment hospital in India as soon as one is diagnosed. Mentioned below are the symptoms pointing to cirrhosis of the liver: Weakness and Fatigue: The toxin build-up within the body due to the liver’s failure to get rid of it causes one to feel notable weakness and fatigue. Bloating of the Abdomen: With the flow of blood slowed down through the liver due to cirrhosis, the pressure in the veins bringing blood from the spleen and the intestines to the liver increases. This is one reason why bloating of the abdomen is seen in cases of liver cirrhosis. Swelling in the legs: When the liver is unable to make enough albumin, which is a blood protein, there are chances of the body suffering from complications such as edema. This leads to the fluids accumulating in the legs, causing the swelling. Jaundice: Liver cirrhosis causes the skin to turn yellow due to the bilirubin accumulating in the blood. When the liver fails to get rid of this blood waste product, one is bound to be affected by jaundice which causes the white portion of the eye and the skin to turn yellow along with darkening the colour of urine. Nausea: Nausea is one of the most common symptoms of liver diseases due to the toxic content in your body rising. Weight loss: Since patients of liver cirrhosis tend to lose their appetites, weight loss is a common symptom of liver cirrhosis. However, it is essential to maintain a healthy diet by consulting with your doctors to avoid further complications.
