10. Enlarged Liver that Becomes Smaller Over Time
One of the most common symptoms of liver cirrhosis is the enlargement of the liver. However, after some time, the size of liver will reduce. The enlargement of the liver is often due to inflammation. When the liver is inflamed, it will increase in size. As the liver inflammation progresses, it will eventually lead to cirrhosis. At this point, the number of scar tissues will also increase, which causes the size of the organ to become smaller.
As mentioned, liver cirrhosis is a type of disease where healthy liver tissues are replaced with scar tissues. The scar tissues can affect the flow of blood and will cause further damage to the liver until it will eventually shrink to a tiny size.
