Answer 3

Liver damage has no symptoms until the liver is seriously (and sometimes irreversibly) damaged. Symptoms of liver damage include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), abdominal pain and itching.

Answer 4

Most often, liver disease is picked up during routine bloodwork, which you can ask for at any office visit. In acute or chronic liver disease, a person might develop jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (known as the sclera). If you notice jaundice, you should head straight for the E.R.

Answer 5

If you have liver cirrhosis, you will have probably noticed one or many of the following: itching, nausea, indigestion (possibly at the same time as upper Back pain), vomiting blood, black tarry stools, abdominal distention (stomach growing progressively bigger, from under the ribs), tiredness, stabbing pains in either (or both) sides of your abdomen, raised temperature, veins appearing more prominent over your abdomen, confusion/inability to concentrate and jaundice.

Most of those symptoms have more than one cause, "jaundice" is the only one which is directly liver-related.

If you go to a GP/family doctor with one or more of those symptoms, they will probably run a set of liver function tests on you (or send you straight to a hospital) . If a liver function blood test comes back as abnormal, you will be sent for a liver biopsy (probably with an ultrasound first, to pinpoint where should be biopsied) which is what is finally used to diagnose cirrhosis. This is when you finally know if you have cirrhosis or not.
