Your Liver Your Choice – Self-identification of early cirrhosis

 People get very nervous at the mention of cirrhosis. In fact, early identification of the presence of cirrhosis is an important step in preventing further development of liver disease. Just think, if you are not even aware that you have cirrhosis, then what is the point of talking about early treatment? According to my clinical experience, there are several simple ways to identify cirrhosis, which I hope will be helpful to the majority of patients.   1, look at the color of the face. If you have a history of chronic liver disease, or there are liver disease patients in your family, please pay attention to your facial color. If the facial color is earthy, or cyan, and gets heavier as time goes by, then you should be alert to the occurrence of cirrhosis.
