6. Fluid in the Abdomen
Almost 80% of patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis have developed an accumulation of fluid in their abdomen. This is a medical condition known as ascites and can result in the enlargement of the abdomen and will make the veins more pronounced.
The accumulation of fluid in the abdomen is not always due to liver cirrhosis, but this symptom is usually common in patients whose cirrhosis is due to excessive alcohol consumption. Ascites can also occur due to cancer, especially if the cancer is already in the advanced stage. If not treated quickly, this can cause further damage to the organs and can lead to death.
