I would like to know if extreme itching and night sweats are part of liver disease.

They can be but they can also occur due to lots of other things non liver related. Hopefully you will have answers once you have seen the liver specialist.

Hello. Certainly the itchin. I am 15 months after failure and skin issues continue. At one point against all their instincts, they gave me a sleeping tablet one night in hospital when I was in for odema issues. Those four hours were just the best at that time.
On the other hand, night sweats are more a sign of withdrawal or overuse rather than liver disease although you are hurtling toward L.D. if persistent drinking continues. Have to agree with Katie again 🙇♂️ don’t jump the gun, wait for consultant. Oh, write EVERYTHING down you want to ask. All the best.
