title: The liver. Part 4: chronic liver disease.
abstract: Chronic liver disease and associated signs and symptoms present a challenge for clinical management as liver failure affects all body systems. While this part of the series concentrates on the physical symptoms of chronic liver disease, it needs to be remembered that these can also have many far-reaching implications for the patients' psychosocial well-being.
