Yes. Cramps can be a complication of cirrhosis of the liver. The true cause is not known. Sometimes cirrhotics who are taking diuretics can cause an imbalance of sodium and potassium which can lead to cramping. Other times it can be other imbalances of electrolytes caused by poor absorption of nutrients because the liver is involved in processing.
