10 Bile Duct Cancer Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Itchy Skin
When we get an itch, it usually means that something is irritating the outside surface of the skin. This can be the result of various causes such as coming into contact with irritating chemicals or maybe an insect bite. Sometimes, though, the itch can be caused by something that is irritating the inside surface of the skin.
Bile duct cancer can lead to bilirubin and other chemicals being released into the bloodstream. The skin is not used to this and can become quite irritated by it. Many patients will find the itching to be quite unbearable and it can prevent them from sleeping at night.
