The liver and gallbladder restrict each other and have very obvious complementary effects. If the liver is impaired, the metabolism of bile pigments will also be abnormal, which can cause jaundice. Except for the saliva which does not change color, other parts of the body, such as urine, sputum and other tissues will turn yellow. When the jaundice deepens, these symptoms will become more obvious. Abnormal synthesis of coagulation factors in the body can cause bleeding tendencies such as gingival bleeding and nose bleeding; (4) Because the liver has the function of metabolizing vitamins, if liver function is abnormal, then vitamin metabolism will also be abnormal, leading to vitamin deficiency, resulting in rough skin, night blindness, lip and tongue inflammation, edema, skin bleeding, osteoporosis, etc.

Liver disease can cause long-term consumption, low resistance and other conditions due to the emergence of complications. If this condition is not taken seriously in time, it can directly lead to other diseases.

This situation is also very common. Bleeding due to liver disease is manifested in decreased liver function, which reduces the synthesis of coagulation factors and is difficult to stop. At this time, you should pay attention to it and seek medical attention immediately.
