LIVER DISEASE - Alterations in the functioning of the liver.
Symptoms:
Cirrhosis of the liver can begin slowly with few symptoms to identify what is happening in the liver. As the disease slowly takes hold, the following symptoms may begin to appear:-
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Weight loss
- Enlargement of the liver
- Jaundice (yellow discolouration of the whites of the eyes and skin, because bile pigment can longer be removed by the liver)
- Itching due to the retention of bile products in the skin
- Abdominal swelling due to an accumulation of fluid caused by the obstruction of blood flow through the liver
- Vomitting of blood
- Increased sensitivity to drugs due to inability of the liver to inactivate them.
