Usually if someone is having liver problems, the first thing you notice is jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) and icterus (yellowing of the eyes). The liver usually also becomes enlarged and tender to palpation (palpate on the right side of the body right under the rib cage). A type of bloating (called ascites) is also common in liver failure
