Hello,

Your symptoms of swollen legs, abdominal bloating and abdominal pain are due to liver failure. Kidney failure can also give rise to same symptoms. As you mentioned, you are in due of liver transplant. You need to consult a gastroenterologist for further management till you get the liver transplanted.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
