Dizziness, Lack Of Appetite. Chances Of Cirrhosis?

I wish to know what signs to look for in the stages of cirrhosis. I am keeping the fluids out, and the color of urine is fairly normal in color. No jaundice, or nausea. My friend has periods of dizziness upon arising, but is very sedentary. He is also 75 years old, but looks good, but basically has no energy. His apatite is not too good. Though he will eat and drink good nutritious foods and drinks. Thanks. I want to do all that I can. YYYY@YYYY
