4 signals on the skin remind you that there may be something wrong with the liver. 2 kinds of people should check themselves quickly!

The incidence of liver cancer in China ranks fourth, but its mortality is very high, second only to lung cancer!

In Chinese patients with liver cancer, the vast majority of patients are not aware of the disease in the early stage, and they seek medical examination only after there are serious complications and pain.

At this time, the cancer has already come to the stage of invasion and metastasis, so the prognosis of liver cancer is quite poor. On average, there are 400000 new liver cancer patients in China every year, and the number of deaths is about 390000!

In fact, in the early stage of liver cancer, the development of the disease is not without signal to speak of. Just because the liver itself involves more functions, so after liver cancer destroys the liver function, the symptoms of patients are more complex, many people will mistakenly think that the symptoms are just common diseases, and then ignore the screening of the liver!

However, if you have a family history of liver cancer and a history of chronic liver disease (viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, alcoholic liver disease), when the following four skin symptoms come to you, it is likely that liver cancer has been reported:

1. Persistent skin itching

Cancer can also cause stubborn skin itching, especially liver cancer caused by skin itching is more common. This is because cancer tissue in the development, will release a variety of active substances, such as histamine, enzyme, carcinoembryonic protein and antigen, etc., these substances will stimulate the body's sensory nerve endings, leading to skin itching.

At the same time, liver cancer will also affect bilirubin metabolism, leading to a large number of bile acid deposition, stimulation of peripheral nerves on the body surface, which is also a major cause of pruritus!

2. Jaundice

As mentioned above, liver cancer affects bilirubin metabolism. Because the liver is the largest detoxification organ in the body, bilirubin, a toxic substance produced by aging red blood cells, needs to be metabolized in the liver and participate in bile generation.

Therefore, when liver function continues to decline, patients may have hepatocellular jaundice. In addition, obstructive cholestasis may occur after liver cancer blocks or compresses the intrahepatic bile duct. The symptoms include yellow skin, yellow sclera and abnormal color of urine and feces.

3. Liver palm

According to the clinical data, both liver cirrhosis and liver cancer can be complicated with liver palmar symptoms when they develop to a certain stage.

That is to say, a large number of deep red flaky red plaques or spots appear in the thenar and hypothenar of the palm of the patient. If you observe carefully, you can also find a large number of small arteries that expand into pieces.

The reason for this is that the liver function has been seriously damaged, and the estrogen produced by adrenal gland, ovary and other organs can not be inactivated and decomposed in the liver. More and more estrogens accumulate in the body and stimulate the small arteries on the body surface to dilate and congest, thus forming liver palmar symptoms.

4. Liver disease face

The most typical face of liver disease is the patient's dark complexion, serious dark circles under the eyes, red nose, visible telangiectasia. In very serious cases, patients can also appear bronze face.

This kind of facial changes is directly related to the decline of liver function. The endocrine system of the body is gradually disordered. After a large amount of melanin is produced, it accumulates on the face under the action of estrogen, and then forms a face with liver disease.

If liver cancer patients also have adrenal cortex dysfunction, obvious melanin accumulation can also be seen in the lip mucosa.

In addition to the above four skin changes, liver cancer patients in the development of abnormal dull pain, digestive tract abnormalities (Loss of appetite, oil weariness, nausea, diarrhea), coagulation disorders, ascites and other abnormalities.

If the above symptoms appear in the skin recently, and combined with other discomfort, it is likely to be the signal of liver disease, so it is necessary to see a doctor in time.
