Guest guest Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I was told that loss of bladder control is a symptom of cirrhosis of the liver. For example, if someone were to go to bed and not be able to wake up when they need to use the bathroom and end up wetting the bed. Is this true? dhawanpuru <dhawanpuru wrote: Cirrhosis of the liver - Symptoms - Investigation - treatment <snip> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
