It may occur suddenly (acute liver failure), for example, as a result of acute hepatitis or toxins, or gradually (chronic liver failure), which is commonly due to chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis from long-term alcohol abuse.  <br \/> Symptoms of acute failure develop rapidly and may include confusion, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and death. <br \/>  Chronic failure develops more slowly and may produce jaundice, itching, abdominal swelling due to fluid build-up, and, in men, enlarged breasts and shrunken testes. <br \/> Acute liver failure requires immediate hospital treatment; it is often ultimately fatal without a liver transplant. <br \/>  Chronic liver failure is treated with medication to relieve symptoms, as well as lifestyle measures, such as a diet low in salt and protein and stopping alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In liver failure, normal functioning of the liver is severely<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-3338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-med-signs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
