Symptoms of Cirrhosis

Many people with cirrhosis have no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. However, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells, liver function starts to fail and a person may experience the following symptoms:

-exhaustion

-fatigue

-loss of appetite

-nausea

-weakness

-weight loss

-abdominal pain

-spider-like blood vessels (spider angiomas) that develop on the skin

As the disease progresses, complications may develop. In some people, these may be the first signs of the disease.
