Chronic liver failure, also known as long-term liver failure, is a type of liver failure that happens over a long period of time.
According to Mayo Clinic, the following are the common symptoms of liver failure:
1. Fatigue
2. Vomiting blood
3. Blood in stool
4. Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)
5. Abdominal swelling
6. Swelling of the feet.
