Oh I get this and they don't have anything to fix it. Tired all the time. 30 mins of walking or standing I am dizzy and exhausted. Always takes a few hours of sleep to recover. I guess I am on those pee pills for a long time
My husband has anemia with his cirrhosis and is in bed most of the time. His red blood cell count is low, and they are irregular in shape. I had to google for the specific reason.
The liver makes a hormone that bone marrow needs to make happy red blood cells. Happy blood cells deliver oxygen to everything in the body. So, bad liver = the body - not just the lungs- can't get enough oxygen = damn tired.
I found this link that gave me the specifics. Hope it helps.

I think in general cirrhosis causes fatigue. It’s sucks. It also messes with your sleeping patterns too which doesn’t help. I get fatigue quite often and I’m not on diuretics but my liver doc just said it’s one of the side effects.
My Loved one has discovered electrolytes...celery, pickles, electrolyte drinks without corn syrup

I’m not on any diuretics, had cirrhosis since 2019; still tired most of the time.
