I know summer's in full swing, and you want to go out and party, but we need to talk about the state of your liver. The liver is our largest internal organ.

Let's talk today about signs of cirrhosis. Are you getting tired? Are you losing weight out of nowhere? Have you been experiencing really bad swelling? We're talking all that AND more...

Summary:
Cirrhosis Can Cause Swelling.
If you're a health-conscious person, there are fewer things scarier than noticing your body parts mysteriously swelling out of nowhere.

Redness In Your Palms Is Another Thing To Watch Out For.
This is a rather rare sign of cirrhosis, but it's one you still need to watch out for. Also known as Palmar Erythema, red palms happen when the liver is becoming scarred.

Cirrhosis Can Make You Lose Weight.
It's not just slow, gradual weight loss either. This type of weight loss can happen rather suddenly.

Another Common Cirrhosis Symptom Is Itching.
When someone has cirrhosis, they often find themselves itching like crazy. This is due to a higher level of salt under the skin. The more salt that has collected, the more you'll be scratching.

Cirrhosis Can Make You Fatigued.
Now, fatigue can be caused by countless things. Sometimes, you haven't gotten enough sleep. Other times, you might just be bored.

This Is Where Jaundice Enters The Conversation.
Have you ever heard of jaundice? A lot more people need to familiarize themselves with this condition.

On Top Of Jaundice, Cirrhosis Can Also Lead To Nausea.
Much like fatigue, nausea can be caused by a bunch of things. But liver disease is one of the more serious causes.

As If Cirrhosis Wasn't Bad Enough, There's Also Random Bleeding.
We've all found random cuts and bruises on our body. It could drive you crazy thinking about what you did the night before to get them.
