If you see any of these six(6) symptoms in your body, schedule a liver test.

Liver failure is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Liver failure usually develops over a long period of time. 

Liver failure occurs when substantial portions of the liver are permanently destroyed and the liver can no longer function.

Early indications of liver failure are frequently misdiagnosed as liver problems or other ailments. As a result, determining the cause of liver failure can be challenging at first. 

The following are instances of early symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic.

1. Swelling of the legs.

When the liver is unable to manufacture enough albumin, the serum albumin level falls too low, causing edema in the legs.

2. Bruising and bleeding.

When the liver is unable to create sufficient amounts of the normal blood clotting proteins, bleeding or easy bruising may occur.

3. Jaundice.

Jaundice can occur when the liver is unable to effectively metabolize or secrete the yellow pigment bilirubin in the bile (yellow skin).

4. Fatigue.

Fatigue with no known cause, but which could be related to a problem with the metabolic activity of the liver.

5. Vomiting of blood.

Cirrhosis patients may experience blood vomiting, demanding rapid medical intervention.

Chronic liver failure can cause a slow decline in health until a dramatic event occurs, such as vomiting blood or passing bloody stools.

6. Swelling in the abdomen also called ascites.

As a result of chronic liver disease, fluid can accumulate in the abdomen, causing abdominal distension.

Ascites are a fluid buildup in the abdomen (abdominal cavity) produced by leaks from the liver and intestinal surfaces.
