What Is Liver Failure?

Liver failure occurs when the liver loses its ability to perform vital functions such as detoxifying the blood, producing proteins, and aiding digestion. It can develop rapidly (acute) or over time (chronic). Without timely treatment, it can lead to serious complications, making early diagnosis and proper care essential.

What Are The Common Symptoms Of Liver Failure?

Symptoms may include yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), fatigue, nausea, abdominal swelling, loss of appetite, and confusion. In advanced stages, it may also cause bleeding issues and severe weakness, so early recognition is important.

How Is Liver Failure Managed And Treated?

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity, and may include medications, lifestyle changes, and managing complications. In severe cases, hospitalization and liver transplant may be required to restore or support liver function.
