A member asked:
Does the body odor from my alcoholic husband mean liver failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Liver failure can cause foul breath odor called fetor hepaticus but it is a late sign of liver failure. His main problem is his alcoholism and that needs to be addressed. A doctor can perform certain tests to estimate the health of his liver also.
