10 Liver Failure Symptoms

Symptom #10: Easy Bruising
If you cut yourself it won’t usually be long before the bleeding stops. This is because the blood coagulates at the site of the wound, causing a clot to block the entrance. This stops us from bleeding to death but the system does not always work as it should. In cases of liver damage, the patient may have difficulty in stemming their bleeding.
Proteins that help the blood to clot are produced in the liver. If the liver is unable to produce these proteins, the blood cannot clot as well as it usually would. This can lead to easy bruising, while you may also have difficulty stopping cuts from bleeding.
