1 -- Ascites is the accumulation of the fluid in the abdomen, and is a result of hepatocellular failure. Jaundice is manifested as yellow-tinged skin, and is the result of hepatic disorders. The patient experiencing hepatic problems might have bleeding and bruising issues due to inadequate vitamin K. Obstructed biliary flow could be the cause of gallbladder pain.
