Patients may also experience liver failure, characterized by jaundice, coagulopathy, and encephalopathy, which can be life-threatening. Additionally, cirrhosis increases the risk of liver cancer and can complicate the management of other health conditions. Overall, the progressive nature of cirrhosis severely affects the quality of life and can lead to critical health crises.
