What are the differences between blood-heat palms and liver palms

Palmar erythema is extremely common in many people with chronic liver diseases, especially those with cirrhosis. People with palmar erythema will have spots on their fingers and palms that turn noticeably red, and turn purple-brown after squeezing. However, because the symptoms of liver palms and blood heat palms are extremely similar, many people do not pay attention to liver palms when they appear. In fact, people with liver palms have many spots of dilation that form small arteries. From this point we can better distinguish liver palms from blood heat palms.

What is the matter with hot palms?

Palms with blood heat are one manifestation, and this statement is often seen in traditional Chinese medicine. Itchy palms due to hot blood in the palms is a complication symptom. This situation should be treated fundamentally and regulated from the perspective of blood heat. Conditioning is multi-faceted. Generally speaking, in addition to using Chinese medicine to regulate the body, you should also pay attention to your diet.

Heat in the blood is caused by deficiency of superficial Qi, which is related to the inability to dissipate heat in the body, so you should pay attention to preventing wind and keeping warm. In terms of diet, you should eat less spicy and fishy foods, eat more tomatoes, cucumbers, and fruits, and never eat lychees, apricots, plums, etc. Usually, you should drink plenty of water. Keep your mood happy. You can take Vitamin C Yinqiao and Lianqiao Baidu Pills.

How do liver palms form?

In fact, the cause of liver palms is the same as that of spider nevi. It is mainly when the liver is in cirrhosis, due to the decline of liver function, the metabolic inactivation function of estrogen is impaired to varying degrees. Estrogen accumulates in the body, stimulating capillary congestion and dilation, and over time, liver palms are formed. The imbalance of estrogen inactivation can also cause capillary dilation, menstrual disorders, testicular atrophy or male breast development in hepatitis patients. If the disease lasts for a long time, it can cause an increase in melanin in skin cells, causing hepatic dark complexion.

It should be noted that the presence of liver palms does not necessarily mean liver disease, because clinically some healthy people have been found to have liver palms, but after years of observation, their liver function has been normal and they have never had liver disease. It can be seen that liver palms are not specific and cannot be used as a diagnostic criterion for liver disease. Therefore, for those who have liver palms, they should combine medical history, physical examination, liver function, hepatitis B virus surface antigen, B-ultrasound, scanning and other examinations, and after comprehensive analysis and judgment, a correct conclusion can be made.
