I wanted to know the early signs of cirrhosis of the liver. My husband is an alcoholic and drinks an unbelievable of alcohol a day. He is in denial that he is causing any damage even though he was told by his doctors over a year ago that his liver did show signs of damage. He also suffers from high blood pressure and once his meds are done he stops taking them because he knows that he needs to see his doctor in order to get more...
Well, alcohol is the first cause of liver cirrhosis in western world, but that God not all heavy Chat Doctor.  Anyway there are many presentation possibilities of this disease. It can stay for many years as a compensated disease and so without signs but can come with the decompensation signs like ascites, upper hemorrhagic, cutaneous signs as Angoras that are erythematous zones in the thoracic region, but please don't live with the waiting fear and try to convince your husband to give up
