Symptoms of Cirrhosis of the Liver

Many people with cirrhosis, pronounced suh-ROH-sis, 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.
