Redness on your hands
If you notice your palms getting redder and redder, you may want to consult a doctor about your liver. Reddening of the palms, also known as palmar erythema, can be caused by liver disease. According to Poston, about a quarter of people with liver disease develop palmar erythema. The reddening of palms from liver disease occurs because the tiny blood vessels' capillaries in the hands become dilated and increase the amount of blood in the hands. If you notice that you are experiencing palmar erythema, it is worth telling your primary care provider to determine if further testing is needed. And for ways you could be damaging your liver, red palms are associated with several forms of liver disease, including Wilson's disease, hemochromatosis, and cirrhosis.
Hand-related issues
Of course, little spots on your palms can be associated with other concerns like pregnancy and rheumatoid arthritis, and people with liver disease do not always experience this symptom. But liver disease can also affect your hands in other ways, experts say. One of these is asterixis, a tremor associated with your wrists and hands. You could also see bruising, yellow skin, and clubbed fingers.
Scarring on your hands
Cirrhosis is the result of long-term, continuous damage to the liver and may be due to many different causes. The damage leads to scarring, known as fibrosis. Irregular bumps or nodules replace the smooth liver tissue and the liver becomes harder. Together, the scarring and the nodules are called cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis, you may develop one or more of the symptoms below. If you have or are worried about any of these symptoms discuss them with your doctor.
Causes
Liver disease has many causes such as;
Infection
Parasites and viruses can infect the liver, causing inflammation that reduces liver function. The viruses that cause liver damage can be spread through blood, contaminated food or water, or close contact with a person who is infected. The most common types of liver infection are hepatitis viruses, including:
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis C
Immune system abnormality
Autoimmune hepatitis
Primary biliary cholangitis
Primary sclerosing cholangitis
Genetics
An abnormal gene inherited from one or both of your parents can cause various substances to build up in your liver, resulting in liver damage. Genetic liver diseases include:
Hemochromatosis
Wilson's disease
Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
Cancer and other growths
Examples include:
Liver cancer
Bile duct cancer
Liver adenoma
Other
Additional, common causes of liver disease include:
Chronic alcohol abuse
Fat accumulation in the liver nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Certain prescription or over-the-counter medications
Certain herbal compounds
How to prevent liver disease:
Drink alcohol in moderation
For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men. Heavy or high-risk drinking is defined as more than eight drinks a week for women and more than 15 drinks a week for men.
Avoid risky behavior
If you choose to have tattoos or body piercings, be picky about cleanliness and safety when selecting a shop. Seek help if you use illicit intravenous drugs, and don't share needles to inject drugs.
Get vaccinated
If you're at increased risk of contracting hepatitis or if you've already been infected with any form of the hepatitis virus, talk to your doctor about getting the hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines.
Use medications wisely
Take prescription and nonprescription drugs only when needed and only in recommended doses. Don't mix medications and alcohol. Talk to your doctor before mixing herbal supplements or prescription or nonprescription drugs.
