What are the symptoms of liver palm

The hand is one of the important organs of the human body. It contains many meridians of the human body. It can be said that we can see many signs of diseases from the hands, which can be called "hand diagnosis" in traditional Chinese medicine. If the colors of different areas on your hands, such as white, cyan, black, and yellow, are particularly obvious, you should seek medical attention in time. Next, we will introduce the symptoms of liver palm in detail.

The factors that cause palmar erythema are closely related to the excess estrogen in the body and the reduced inactivation function of the liver caused by decreased liver function. Therefore, palmar erythema will be alleviated or disappear as the liver function improves.

The main external manifestations of spider nevi are: spider nevi often appear on the face, neck, hands, chest, arms, back, etc., and their shape resembles a spider, with a small red dot in the center and many fine red threads radiating around it. The entire diameter is about 0.2 to 2 cm. In a few people, they may also occur in the mouth, lips, ears and other parts of the body.

Spider nevi on the palm are closely related to liver disease. It can be said that spider nevi are a warning of liver failure in a certain sense. When spider nevi appear, it means that there may be problems with our liver.

Liver disease can reduce the ability of liver cells to inactivate estrogen, causing an increase in estrogen in the blood. Excessive estrogen has the effect of dilating arterioles, thus forming spider nevi. Therefore, spider nevi may also decrease, disappear or grow depending on the liver function.

For patients with chronic liver disease, liver palms and spider nevi usually appear at the same time, because the formation of both is related to decreased liver function. Liver palms often appear on both sides of the palms of both hands, and in rare cases, they also appear on the soles of the feet, while spider nevi often appear on the face, neck, hands, chest, arms, back and other parts of the human body. The direct cause of liver palms and spider nevi is the accumulation of a large amount of estrogen in the body after liver function is damaged, which causes the dilation of small arteries in the body. Therefore, through reasonable treatment, if the liver function returns to normal, liver palms and spider nevi can be eliminated at the same time.

In fact, the cause of liver palms is the same as that of spider nevi. It is mainly when the liver is in cirrhosis, due to the decline of liver function, the metabolic inactivation function of estrogen is impaired to varying degrees. Estrogen accumulates in the body, stimulating capillary congestion and dilation, and over time, liver palms are formed. Imbalanced estrogen inactivation can also cause telangiectasia in hepatitis patients

, menstrual disorders, testicular atrophy or male breast development, if the disease lasts for a long time, can cause an increase in melanin in skin cells, causing hepatic dark complexion.
