• Answer:

  I think your best bet is to look it up on Wikipedia since you are asking quite a lot and most people (myself included) are not going to write a book on the subject here. That is what it would take to answer your question accurately when you say you want "all" the symptoms of liver disease. Keep in mind that the liver has over 500 functions, so you can imagine all the symptoms that could come with that. There are 4 stages of liver diseases. The staging goes from 0-4. Stage 0 is no fibrosis, stage 1 is some fibrosis, stage 2 is a little more fibrosis, stage 3 is fibrosis with bridging, and stage 4 is when cirrhosis is present. So no matter how much cirrhosis a person might have, whether it be a little or a lot, when any cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) is present, that person is considered to have end stage liver disease (ESLD). Cirrhosis also has staging of A, B, and C. Stage A is compensated cirrhosis which means there is no symptoms yet. Stage B is the beginning of decompensation which means that symptoms need to be controlled with drug and/or treatments. Stage C is decompensated where the meds no longer are helping much in controlling the symptoms and total failure is near. Go to Wikipedia and look up cirrhosis. It will tell you all about the different types and symptoms.
