Thanks for posting your query.
A swelling and severe discoloration of upper left leg with a liver disease is likely to be due to a bleeding problem.
He needs to consult a physician to get a complete blood coagulation profile checked with APTT and platelet count to rule out other possible causes like thrombocytopenia.
This can also happen due to a viral infection in the recent past- decreases the synthesis of platelets from the bone marrow.
Presence of any autoimmune disorders also needs to be ruled out.
