Symptom #6: Palmar Erythema
The palms of our hands help us to grip tightly to objects due to their slightly rough surfaces, which help us grip onto smooth objects. They are also quite sensitive, packed with nerve-endings that help us to detect heat and other sensations. We don’t usually notice them much, but some conditions involving the palms can be quite uncomfortable.
Liver disease can lead to abnormal levels of hormones flowing through the blood. This can cause the palms to become red and itchy, sometimes with a burning sensation. This is a condition known as palmar erythema and is a sign that you might be suffering from liver disease.
