Symptoms of SECONDARY BILIARY CIRRHOSIS
Secondary biliary cirrhosis produces jaundice - yellowing of the skin and eyes. Itching and fever are common. Pain may develop from the damaged liver leading to right upper abdominal pain. In severe cases, cirrhosis will lead to increased pressure in the vessels supplying the gastrointestinal tract. Esophageal varices may develop. These distended veins can bleed, leading to vomiting blood and black, tarry stools. Anemia can develop, producing weakness, fatigue, rapid heart rate, pallor and exercise intolerance.
