What are the symptoms of end-stage liver cirrhosis?
Disease description:
The doctor diagnosed me with cirrhosis, and I'm now worried it might have progressed to the advanced stage. Therefore, what are the symptoms of advanced cirrhosis?

Symptoms of end-stage liver cirrhosis may include:
1. Significant fatigue and weight loss: This is usually due to impaired liver function leading to disturbances in nutrient absorption and metabolism.
2. Ascites: Noticeable abdominal swelling caused by portal hypertension resulting from cirrhosis, leading to fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
3. Jaundice: Yellowing of the eyes and skin due to the liver's inability to process bilirubin normally.
4. Digestive problems: Such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and diarrhea, which are related to the liver's reduced ability to aid in digestion and absorption of food.
5. Muscle wasting and osteoporosis: Consequences of malnutrition and hormonal imbalances.
6. Decreased immune system function: Increased susceptibility to infections, particularly respiratory and urinary tract infections.
