Isn't that how people get liver spots?

I don't think it is the condition causing the liver problem but rather the condition of the liver it's self.  Is it end stage where little can be done or can medication help.\n\nI think it is the cause of the condition and the state of the patient that determines who gets the liver.  Also who got their name in first.

Yes, the liver is the cleaning plant of the body. It's a plant called "Chelidonium majus", with yellow flowers, round leaves from which you can make tea for liver illnesses. The juice of the plant is orange and if you put it on warts, in time they dry and fall down. Maybe they prepared that drug from that plant. If the liver is in good condition it cleans your blood and your skin too.

get an explicit video of advanced liver disease and plug it in for him to watch....he should back it off to one or two a day and just enjoy having a lesser amount. he's getting a buzz and that isn't a good habit to get into....you've got your work cut out for you, it's going to be a hard sell but tell him how much you love him and that you only want to help because you care. is he getting red cheeks and nose yet?

Many skin disorders can cause blotching and blemishes.\n\nThe most likely is of course acne, but other skin disorders include: Rosacea, Shingles, Psoriasis, Eczema, Fungal Infections and Skin Rashes.\n\nSome irritable plants, or materials which cause allergic reactions can create rashes.  Dry skin can also create skin problems.\n\nMy suggestion would be to see a dermatologist to know for certain what you are trying to treat.  Many skin problems are treated with OTC meds, but some can require a presciption.\n\nCheck out the website below for more information

This is a problem called acanthosis nigricans.  It is generally associated with being overweight and is very often linked to insulin problems, although you may or may not be diabetic.  It is a sign that you should have your insulin function checked, however.  You will need to be tested for diabetes and insulin resistance.  Cutting back on carbohydrates, especially processed ones (white bread, white rice, etc.) may help, as would losing weight.  This is an endocrine system problem rather than a dermatological problem, so skin treatments might help the appearance a little but won't solve the problem.

Yes, my wife died of liver cancer 2 years ago, It is the most painful way to die too. The blisters are common, so is edema in the feet hands, and back. The liver becomes really swollen, and Doctors call that asides fluid, and you start to bleed internally, and become incontinent.\n\nI wish you and your family the very best of luck.

Have you talked to your doctors? If you have liver problem you may want to cut down your cigarettes and alchohol. No fried food. If you cannot eat fresh fruits, how about cooked or steamed vegetables? One of the causes of mouth ulcers could be vitamin B2 deficiency. But there are other causes, too. Check with your doctor.  Coconut oil is not good. Olive oil is better. Egg white is OK. Egg yolk is for babies and children. Cream milk is not good.

well, believe it or not, but the symptoms you suggest sounds kinda like the disease Porphyria. The kooky part of this all is that this disease is what is said to be the cause of real life vampirism. I know, sounds crazy, but run with this a minute. \n\nThere is a type of Porphyria known as erythropoietic porphyrias which, as wikipedia says "primarily affect the skin, causing photosensitivity (photodermatitis), blisters, necrosis of the skin and gums, itching, and swelling, and increased hair growth on areas such as the forehead." \n\nI don't know if this is at all what you have, but if you have these other symptoms, perhaps you should ask the doctor for a test.\n\nThey say that it can be treated with a change in diet for mild cases. \n\nBesides, if you really do believe you are allergic to the sun, that sure sounds like some sort of vampirism type illness. Probably should go get checked out by a doctor (primarily a determintologist).\n\nGood luck!

You'll need to get on a strict diet.  No salt or alot of proteins.  Hepatitis C is not curable.  You will sooner or later have to have a transplant if it gets worse and that's not necessarily exactly the end of the H-C.  Stay away from alcohol for sure.  No drugs.  Since it's not to scarred, that's good but you'll want to make sure it doesn't get that way so that's why I suggest the diet part.  I have cryptogenic liver disease and I have alot of swelling daily. If you're not swelling, just stay away from the harmful things that your liver would have to filter out.  I think it's all about the intake of fluids and foods and certain medications.  If you can do all of that, it will slow the scarring process down.

I think it could contrtibute to it, I suppose, but not cause it.  Too much red wine is more likely to cause cirrhosis of the liver.

Hi! Liverspots are "age spots", caused by growing older and being in the sun without proper sunscreen, etc. According to the website listed below under sources, there is a lot you can do to avoid them. (and you can also have them removed using laser treatments) \n\nI think the best prevention is to consistently use suncreen on your hands every single time you step outside. It works!

I would think the reason you have health insurance is to take care of medical problems.  It's not going to be a secret that you have/have had cirrhosis when you visit a doctor.  \n\nHere's some symptoms of cirrhosis (note that they're similar to hepatitis--both are dangerous and NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION)\n\nCirrhosis can cause extremely dry skin and intense itching. The whites of the eyes and the skin may turn yellow (jaundice), and urine may be dark yellow or brown. Stools may be black or bloody.\n\nconstipation \ndiarrhea\ndull abdominal pain \nfatigue\nindigestion \nloss of appetite\nnausea\nvomiting\nweakness\nweight loss\n\nanemia\nbleeding gums\ndecreased interest in sex\nfever\nfluid in the lungs\nhallucinations \nlethargy\nlightheadedness\nmuscle weakness\nmusty breath\npainful nerve inflammation (neuritis)\nslurred speech\ntremors

Liver disease may not cause any symptoms at first or the symptoms may be vague, like weakness and loss of energy. In acute liver disease, symptoms related to problems handling bilirubin, including jaundice, dark urine, and light stools, along with loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are the most common. Chronic liver disease symptoms may include jaundice, dark urine, abdominal swelling (due to ascites), pruritus (itching), unexplained weight loss or gain, and abdominal pain; these symptoms may not be present until the disease has reached an advanced stage.

Hepatitis is a fancy way of saying inflammation of the liver.  There are many different reasons that can cause hepatitis.  Virus, massive blood infections, medications, alcohol, auto-immune disorders are some general causes of hepatitis. \n\nHepatitis C virus and alcohol both can cause inflammation of the liver.  Hepatitis C can be easily tested by blood work and if you have abnormal liver function test and Hepatitis C, it could be causing the hepatitis.  If you test negative for Hepatitis C and you drink alot of alcohol, then the alcohol may be causing it.  Now if you drink heavily/frequently and also have Hepatitis C it may be hard to figure which one is doing more damage.  In the last case senerio,  the important thing to rememeber is that both the alcohol and hepatitis C could be causing liver inflammation and ultimately you could develop liver cirrhosis (liver is so damaged and scarred from chronic inflammation) faster than if you have only had one causative factor.\n\nUnlike what people above said, alcohol does cause hepatitis and it is common.  Chronic hepatitis can ultimately lead to liver cirrhosis.
