What are the sign of liver failure?
154446
Symptoms of liver failure are usually vague initially, and can include nausea or fatigue. The progression to jaundice (yellow skin) and confusion or coma can be very rapid. When a patient has the first signs of confusion and disorientation (hepatic encephalopathy), when liver enzymes increase dramatically, or when coagulation factors begin to change - a quick referral to a liver transplant center is highly recommended.\n\nHepatic encephalopathy always accompanies fulminant liver failure. It can manifest as irritability, drowsiness, sluggishness, insomnia, confusion, and coma. With hepatic encephalopathy, the patient is suffering an impairment of proper brain function, which is related to the inability of the liver to metabolize toxic products such ammonia. These toxic products are normally broken down or eliminated by the healthy liver. Treatment is directed at preventing ammonia production in the intestine. This is done with the use of a liquid sugar (lactulose) and neomycin (antibiotic). The neomycin is poorly absorbed and kills the bacteria that promote ammonia production.

Toxic levels of Tylenol will deplete the liver of an major anti-oxidant, called glutathione.  The accumulation of oxidative radicals will destroy the liver.  The first sign will be jaundice and fatigue-Unfortunately, by this time its too late to save the liver, the damage is already done.  The mortality rate from this level of damage nears 100%.

if you are social drinker....the probability of liver scirosis is little but...if you abuse alcohol then your liver starts to malfuction. it takes time for our liver or anyother organs to heal...when it is subjected to abuse.....have a medical doctor check your liver by blood work just to make sure no serious damage has occured over the period of alcohol abuse.

A fatty liver can be caused by many things, including alcohol, certain drugs, chemicals, starvation, obesity, diabetes and certain diseases.  Fatty liver is a sign of something wrong going on in your body.  You need to find out what is wrong and fix it otherwise you risk permanent liver damage, which can lead to death (you can't live without a liver).  Fortunately, fatty liver is completely reversible, so as long as the damage does not progress.

Yes, my wife died of liver cancer 2 years ago, It is the most painful way to die too. The blisters are common, so is edema in the feet hands, and back. The liver becomes really swollen, and Doctors call that asides fluid, and you start to bleed internally, and become incontinent.\n\nI wish you and your family the very best of luck.

well, yeah, if your liver isn't functioning properly, and it isn't filtering correctly, but your liver doesn't release potassium, so it would have to be something else that is releasing the extra levels of potassium.\n\nDo you have edema? \nDo you have heart problems? Sounds like your sodium potassium pump may be starting to have problems, have you been burned severely or any severe bleeding?\nThere are many causes.

Liver failure from overdosing on tylenol happens acutely, meaning that if it has been a month ago and it did not happen, it will never happen. You are ok.
