What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. What are the symptoms of liver cirrhosis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cirrhosis is a diffuse inflammation of the liver. Early symptoms are not obvious, and later stages primarily manifest as liver function decline and portal hypertension. Liver function decline mainly manifests as malabsorption, malnutrition, jaundice, skin breakdown, anemia, endocrine disorders, hypoproteinemia, etc. Portal hypertension primarily manifests as ascites, recurrent opening of portocaval collateral circulation, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding, etc. It is recommended that you visit the department of gastroenterology for follow-up, improve liver function, and undergo a liver ultrasound examination.
