A member asked:
With liver failure what parts of the body do you lose weight from cuase i'm loseing my stomach and what stage ment it be please symptoms send me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver failure: With liver failure, you develop many physiologic derangements. You lose protein and muscle mass so arms and legs get thin, but ascites can also develop which gives you a large belly full of fluid. You generally don't see liver failure patients with skinny bellies, unless it is a very acute episode of hepatic failure.
