Let's talk about the 10 signs of a dying liver, and I'm talking about end-stage liver disease.

Now, the liver is very, very rugged. It can regenerate, but there's a point of limitation where you get to the stage where it's almost impossible to reverse.

However, if I had end-stage liver disease, I would do everything I could to try to reverse it.

Now, before I go into the end-stage signs, let's talk about the first two symptoms that usually occur when you start having liver problems.

Number one, it's malaise, which is a difficult symptom to describe because it's the absence of wellness.

You just don't feel quite right, and then you have fatigue.

Okay, so those are the two first symptoms. But as things progress over the years, you can get these indicators.

Okay, number one, confusion or disoriented.

Okay, that occurs because you have ammonia that is building up in the body and it's going up into the brain.

This is because the liver is responsible for detoxifying ammonia and getting rid of it.

Number two, acides. Acides is an advanced liver disease where you have a protein, albumin, that is backing up in the blood,

and you're getting this fluid leakage into a sack around your belly. So it looks like you're pregnant.

I mean, the best description is the guy in the beach with the speedo with the pot belly. That's acides.

You can't see any fat in the person except in their belly because it's not really fat.

It's a fluid-filled sack right in the stomach, and many people go to the hospital and they get it drained.

And then in a week later, it comes right back because they didn't fix the liver.

So acides is a sign of advanced liver disease.

Number three, severe itching. It's called pureitis. This usually occurs because you have the problem with your bile salts.

Because the liver makes and controls the production of bile salts. So it kind of backs up into the system and even the skin.

And it can affect the sensory nerves.

Number four, you start turning yellow. The whites of the eyes turn yellow. The skin turns yellow.

That's called jaundice. All right.
