Patient's question:
I have liver disease, and my skin has been yellow recently. It's been a long time, and I thought it was temporary at first. But it's still like that after a long time. Is it true that if you have liver disease, your skin will turn yellow?Doctor's answer:
You have liver disease, and the yellowing of your skin is primarily caused by elevated bilirubin levels in your body, which is one manifestation of liver disease. For this symptom, it is necessary to seek timely and professional medical treatment at the hospital. Timely symptomatic treatment is required. It is recommended to first undergo a comprehensive liver function test at the hospital, and then receive symptomatic treatment based on the test results. Do not delay the best time for treatment! Liver patients can combine symptomatic medication with dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
