Possibly: Cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver, is caused by chronic damage to the liver. It can lead to a variety of symptoms and associated problems. The incidence of gallstones is increased in cirrhotic patients, there is an increased strain on the heart which can lead to a functional heart murmur and something called congestive colopathy, can lead to blood in stools and diarrhea. See your physician.
