Description

Chronic liver disease NOS (not otherwise specified) is a term used to describe a group of chronic liver diseases that have similar symptoms but cannot be classified into a specific diagnosis. It is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning that other causes of liver disease must be ruled out before a diagnosis of chronic liver disease NOS can be made. Common symptoms of chronic liver disease NOS include fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss. Treatment for chronic liver disease NOS is based on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery.
