What are the complications of liver disease?
Except for gallstone disease and some viral infections such as Hepatitis A
and infectious mononucleosis, most liver diseases are managed and not cured.
Liver disease can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure. Associated
complications may include increased risk of bleeding and infection, malnutrition
and weight loss, and decreased cognitive function.
Some liver diseases are associated with an increased risk of developing
liver cancer.
