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.
