4. Malaise
People suffering from liver failure may exhibit malaise. They generally do not feel well.4‘Acute Liver Failure.’ 21 Oct. 2020, Mayo Clinic, October 21, 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/acute-liver-failure/symptoms-causes/syc-20352863. A person with malaise may lack the energy to perform their normal activities. Malaise may develop over time or occur suddenly.7‘Malaise: MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia,’ medlineplus.gov/ency/article/003089.htm.
Malaise is a vague sign that accompanies a range of ailments. A physician takes this sign into consideration, along with other symptoms, to select and perform relevant tests before arriving at a diagnosis.
