What Is a Liver Cyst?
8. Complications
As mentioned, liver cysts will cause potentially severe complication in a small number of cases. This is particularly the case with polycystic liver disease. One of the potential problems is heavy bleeding, which can be extremely painful for the patient. It can also result in excessive blood loss.
If the cysts are severe enough then they can begin to affect the ability of the liver to function properly. This can result in jaundice, among some other symptoms associated with liver function. There is also a chance that the cysts can become infected, and this can be a very serious condition indeed.
