10 Symptoms of Liver Cancer
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Ascites
Ascites is defined as fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity. As the liver functions become affected, many symptoms associated with cirrhosis may appear and this is one of the most common ones.
The fluid will accumulate in the peritoneal cavity and eventually if left untreated it can put pressure into other surrounding structures. It may even cause shortness of breath as the diaphragm struggles to push against the fluid in the abdomen.
