How to identify cirrhosis disease

Cirrhosis, frequently the result of a viral disease or chronic alcoholism, occurs when liver cells are damaged and cannot fix themselves.

• Losing weight.
• Loss of hunger.
• Sickness or throwing up blood.
• Feeling tired, weak or confused, or having difficulty paying attention.
• Swelling of the abdomen.
• Itchy skin or red palms.
• Menstrual troubles.
• Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin.
• Urine that's dark brown.
