He has described the classic signs of a serious liver disease. Yellowing of the eyes is called jaundice , which is caused by rising levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream ( a healthy liver processes bilirubin and removes it from your bloodstream ) ) . The fluid in the abdomen ( called ascites) and legs could be due to a blockage of blood flow through the liver . Before the blood from your legs and your abdomen back to the heart , it must be filtered by the liver .
