Explanation

Stage 4 cirrhosis is a severe liver condition where the liver is very damaged. You might feel very tired and weak every day. Confusion or trouble thinking clearly can happen because the liver isn't working well to clean the blood. You might notice swelling in your legs or belly because of fluid buildup. Eating can be hard because you might not feel hungry or food might not taste good.

Daily Symptoms to Expect:

  • Tiredness and Weakness: You may feel very tired and have low energy.
  • Confusion: Sometimes, it can be hard to think clearly or remember things.
  • Swelling: Your legs or belly might swell due to fluid.
  • Eating Problems: You may not feel hungry or enjoy food like before.

It's important to talk with your doctor about these symptoms. They can help you find ways to feel better and manage your condition. For any mental health concerns, you can visit 988lifeline.org.
