Your legs are screaming “HELP!”: 5 warning signs from your liver…..

3. Spider Veins and Visible Blood Vessels

People with liver disease may notice:

• Small, spider-like veins on the legs

• Increased visibility of blood vessels

This occurs because liver damage affects hormone balance and blood pressure in veins, leading to vessel dilation.

4. Persistent Itching on the Legs

Chronic itching — especially without a visible rash — can be a sign of liver disease. It happens when bile salts accumulate in the bloodstream and irritate nerve endings in the skin.

The itching may:

• Be worse at night

• Affect the legs more intensely

• Not improve with creams or lotions

5. Easy Bruising and Slow Healing

A diseased liver struggles to produce clotting factors. As a result:

• Bruises appear easily on the legs

• Minor injuries heal slowly

• Small bumps may leave dark marks

This can be an early sign of impaired liver function.
