Hello,
Yes, it could be metabolic liver disease. A distended abdomen may be fluid in abdomen, seen in liver disease.
Bleeding may occur due to deranged PT/INR, a test and function of liver, which may lead to bleeding.
I suggest you a battery of test as ultrasound abdomen, complete Liver function test, alpha feto protein, and repeated blood sugar. Further tests are based on reports of these tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
