10 Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Symptoms
Symptom #9: Palmar Erythema
Palmar erythema is the word for a condition that causes the palms of the hand to appear red and blotchy. It most often occurs in pregnant women as a result of more than usual estrogen flowing through the body. With the body’s hormones thrown out of their natural balance, it can also occur in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Palmar erythema will mostly cover the base of the hands around the thumb area, but the whole hand can be affected. In some cases, the fingers can also become red and blotchy. It is something that should be checked out by a medical professional.
