End-stage liver disease refers to the final stage of chronic liver disease, where the liver is severely damaged and is no longer able to function properly. This can lead to a range of serious complications such as liver failure, cirrhosis, and portal hypertension. Symptoms of end-stage liver disease can include jaundice, abdominal swelling, fatigue, confusion, and easy bruising. Treatment options may include medications, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, liver transplantation. Research in this area focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of end-stage liver disease, as well as finding ways to prevent its progression.
