Itchy Skin
Symptom Description:
Itchy skin, or pruritus, can be a hidden symptom of liver cancer. This symptom is often dismissed as an allergic reaction or skin condition. However, persistent itching without an apparent cause can be indicative of liver issues.
What It Might Mean:
Itchy skin in liver cancer is caused by the buildup of bile salts in the skin. When the liver’s ability to process bile is compromised, these salts accumulate and cause irritation, leading to chronic itching.
