Liver Failure

Liver failure occurs when the liver loses its ability to perform essential functions such as filtering toxins, producing proteins, and regulating metabolism. This can lead to symptoms like jaundice, swelling, fatigue, confusion, nausea, abdominal pain, and easy bleeding. It may happen suddenly due to infections, drug reactions, or poisoning, or develop gradually from long-term liver disease, alcohol use, hepatitis, or fatty liver.

Timely diagnosis with blood tests, scans, and liver function assessments is crucial to prevent complications. Treatment focuses on removing the underlying cause, managing toxins, controlling symptoms, and supporting liver function.
