The liver palm is mainly characterized by pink patches on both sides of hands, palms and heels, which are vermilion, can turn white after pressure, and pink after pressure is released. Palm color is normal, and connected arterioles can be seen. In more serious cases, the abnormal red appearance of the sole will appear.
Occurrence mechanism
The mechanism of liver palm is mainly due to the disorder of estrogen metabolism after liver function decline caused by injury.
Estrogen accumulates in a large amount in the body, and then stimulates capillaries, making them congested and dilated, and forming liver palm manifestations for a long time. In addition, abnormal inactivation of estrogen can also cause hepatitis? Patients with abnormal menstruation, testicular atrophy or male mammary gland development.
If the course of the disease lasts for a long time, it can cause skin cytochrome deposition and dark facial expression. Don't absolutize clinical symptoms and liver function tests. For example, the clinical elevation of ALT and AST indicates that the liver inflammation is obvious, but it cannot be directly said that the patient has hepatitis? . No symptoms do not mean normal liver function, and normal transaminase level does not mean that the liver is not damaged. Liver function test is actually just a mathematical concept, and it can't be used as the final diagnosis basis.
