In its early stages, chronic liver disease frequently shows no symptoms. However, there are instances where an acute hepatitis episode precedes it. For instance, there is an acute phase before the chronic phase begins if you have a viral hepatitis infection. Short-term symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or fever may occur while your immune system fights the infection. It turns into a persistent infection if it is not defeated. Acute symptoms may also be more severe at first or occur in brief bursts in some other forms of liver disease. When your liver function starts to deteriorate, you can start experiencing more symptoms. In the advanced phases of liver disease, this occurs. When liver function declines, one of the initial adverse effects is. When the portal vein that passes through your liver becomes compressed due to scarring, you have portal hypertension. Your body will shift blood flow from the portal vein to other veins that are related to it due to high blood pressure, causing those veins to swell and thin. These veins may rupture, leak, or bleed. These varices can cause abrupt, severe, and perhaps fatal internal bleeding.
