Does Liver Disease Cause Rashes?
Question: does liver disease cause a rash?
Hi and thanks for the question,
Liver disease can cause many skin manifestations that appear as rashes. The commonest are "paper money" skin appearance, changes in skin color, hyper pigmnetation that might appear as rashes. Some clotting factor related anomalies called petechiae and echymoses, when dried off might resemble rashes
Liver disease manifestations are very easy to be recognized the physician, the gastroenterologist. Consulting the gastroenterologist is very important in confirming that the rash is liver disease associated and not from another cause.
Its very possible, but you need to consult your gastroenterologist first for him to confirm that the rash is liver disease related.
Thanks for the question and best regards. Will be honored answering any further questions if need be,
best regards,
