Cirrhosis: what are the symptoms?

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 non specific symptoms: exhaustion, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, weakness and weight loss.

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