What tests should be done when liver palms appear

Many people have heard that palms of the liver are a very serious disease and want to know what examinations should be done if palms of the liver occur. In fact, liver palm is a symptom that occurs in many diseases. It is not a disease, so there are no examination items to be done. The examination subjects should be decided according to the disease. Palmar erythema is generally caused by liver disease. Let’s learn how to treat palmar erythema.

1. Treatment of liver palms

1. Under normal circumstances, some adolescent girls and pregnant women may develop liver palms and spider nevi due to excessive estrogen secretion, which exceeds the liver's inactivation capacity. However, this situation does not require treatment and will disappear naturally with the development of the body or after delivery.

2. Patients with severe hepatitis usually have liver palms and spider nevi. In this case, the liver cells of patients are severely damaged and need timely treatment, otherwise it will cause serious damage to the liver.

3. Pay attention to rest: If the patient with liver palms is in the acute stage of liver disease or active inflammation, it is advisable to rest in bed, and then gradually increase the amount of activity after the condition improves; if it is a hepatitis B virus carrier, chronic hepatitis B patient or compensated liver cirrhosis patient, you can appropriately participate in some physical activities, depending on the condition.

4. Palmar erythema caused by hepatitis B patients and patients with cirrhosis can usually disappear with the improvement of liver function. Therefore, you must not be careless and should go to the hospital for corresponding examinations in time so that you can receive symptomatic treatment in time, control the disease in time and improve the prognosis. During the treatment, you should also pay attention to your diet and lifestyle, which are very beneficial for the treatment of the disease and the disappearance of palmar erythema. Reasonable diet: Patients with hepatitis or cirrhosis should pay attention to balanced and diversified nutrition in their diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, and eat more vegetables, fruits, soy products, fungal vegetables, fish, eggs, etc.

5. Palmar erythema is not exclusive to liver diseases. It can also be seen in rheumatoid arthritis, malnutrition, long-term drinking, and even in healthy people. Therefore, when palmar erythema appears, the cause should be found out in time, and symptomatic treatment is the key based on the cause and predisposing factors.

6. Selenium supplementation: Selenium is known as an important "liver protection factor". Selenium supplementation can make the activity of glutathione peroxidase in the liver reach normal levels, which plays a good role in nourishing and protecting the liver. After liver function returns to normal, the symptoms of palmar erythema may gradually subside.

The treatment of palms of the hand not only requires good treatment methods, but also requires helping patients take good care of themselves in their daily lives. In addition, I would like to remind everyone that having liver palms does not necessarily mean that you have liver disease, because in clinical practice we can often see some healthy people having liver palms.
