When to seek urgent medical help
Some symptoms need prompt medical attention, not a wait-and-see approach. Seek urgent help if you have vomiting blood, black tarry stools, severe confusion, marked sleepiness, yellowing of the eyes or skin, or major swelling in the abdomen or legs.
Final thought
Many of these symptoms can be caused by conditions other than liver disease, so they are not a diagnosis by themselves. Still, persistent or unusual changes in your body are worth taking seriously. Early medical evaluation can help identify the cause, guide testing, and make treatment easier if there is a liver problem.
