What Is Liver Disease?
4. Bruising or Bleeding
If you start seeing a lot of unexplained bruises, you may be observing one of the signs of liver disease. A liver that is not functioning properly is unable to produce the needed blood clotting proteins. You may bruise easily, often, and out of proportion with the force of the impact.
Unusual bleeding may also occur, as blood may be unable to flow properly through a diseased liver. Blood that detours from the liver can cause an enlarged spleen, which in turn collects platelets from your blood. Issues such as bleeding gums and nosebleeds can occur with a low platelet count.
