Liver disease typically develops slowly, but certain warning signs suggest it’s time for professional home support:
- Growing tiredness that makes everyday tasks more difficult
- Belly swelling that doesn’t improve with current treatments
- Mental changes including confusion or forgetfulness
- Repeated hospital stays for liver problems
- Trouble keeping track of medications and treatments
- Unintended weight loss or loss of appetite
- Skin or eye yellowing that becomes more noticeable

- Breathing difficulties or feeling short of breath
When these symptoms appear, specialized care at home can improve daily comfort, prevent medical emergencies, and help you maintain a better quality of life in your own home.
