First, how do hepatitis B virus carriers diagnose the liver palm?
Liver palm is one of the common symptoms of hepatitis B virus carriers. Usually, the palm of the liver is red, so how can hepatitis B virus carriers diagnose the palm redness as the palm of the liver? Liver disease experts say that healthy palms should be pink. If the palms are too red, such as purple, dark red or crimson, you should pay attention. Generally speaking, the redness of the palms of hepatitis B virus carriers is a hint that the body is beginning to change.
As for how hepatitis B virus carriers can diagnose that the palm redness is the liver palm, and how virus carriers can diagnose that the palm redness is the liver palm, liver disease experts said to remind everyone that the palm of a patient recovering from a serious illness or a patient undergoing blood transfusion may be red, but it is generally bright red. At this time, we should pay attention to the changes of patients' blood pressure and pulse pressure difference. There are also bright red palms, which can also be seen in menopausal women. Attention should be paid to differential diagnosis.
Second, the liver palm must be liver disease?
Many people think that having "liver palm" means having liver disease, but this idea is wrong. What is liver palm? In the palmar roots of thumb and little finger, the skin appears flaky congestion, or red spots and patches, which turn white after being pressed and turn red soon after being released. This palm, which is different from normal people, is called the liver palm.
The cause of liver palm is the same as spider nevus, mainly because when acute and chronic inflammation or other diseases occur in the liver, its ability to inactivate estrogen is obviously reduced, which leads to a large accumulation of estrogen in the body, stimulates the congestion and expansion of capillaries, and forms liver palm over time. Liver palm mainly occurs in the palms of patients with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. The liver palm is characterized by pink (fused or non-fused) rouge-like spots on the thenar and thenar of the palm, the palm surface of the finger and the root of the finger, which will fade when pressed and become purple-brown after a long time. If you look closely, you can see that many arterioles expand and connect into pieces. Most patients with liver cirrhosis will have liver palms. Estrogen accumulates in the body, and the imbalance of estrogen inactivation can also cause telangiectasia, menstrual disorder, testicular atrophy or male breast development in patients with hepatitis. If the course of disease is long, it can cause the increase of melanin in skin cells, resulting in black liver surface.
