Patients with cirrhosis may have few or no symptoms and signs of liver disease. Some of the symptoms may be nonspecific, that is, they don’t suggest that the liver is their cause. Some of the more common symptoms and signs of cirrhosis include:
Yellowing of the skin (jaundice) due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood
Fatigue
Weakness
Loss of appetite
Itching
Easy bruising from decreased production of blood clotting factors by the diseased liver.
Patients with cirrhosis also develop symptoms and signs from the complications of cirrhosis that are discussed here: http://www.medicinenet.com/cirrhosis/page2.htm

If you think you might have cirrhosis, then you must have been drinking a LOT of beer for many years. Is that true?
Here is more info on the disease:

first sign is swelling in the belly, yellow skin and eyes, depression, your livers color turns from bright red to a Browne color, also beer is more damaging to your liver than hard liquor, because you can consume more of it.
