10 Liver Disease Symptoms

Symptom #5: Itchy Skin
Itchy skin is quite a common symptom. We don’t usually pay much attention to it other than scratching it, of course, but there are some times when it might be necessary to pay a great deal of attention to it indeed. If your skin is itching for no particular reason, it might be because you have liver disease.
Bile is a substance that is important to us because it helps us to digest certain foods. If somebody has liver disease, though, then the bile duct can become blocked. This can cause it to flow back into the bloodstream and if it is able to accumulate under the skin, it can cause us to feel itchy.
