The liver is one of the most important organs in our body, and it is mainly responsible for metabolism and detoxification in our body. At the same time, the liver is also what we often call a dumb organ, when it occurs disease, it is often not visible at a glance, unlike the common cold will remind us through sneezing, runny nose, fever and other symptoms, liver disease is likely to develop throughout the whole process, only when the disease progresses to the advanced stage, it is discovered.
When there is a problem with the liver, it can also affect other organs, such as the digestive system and respiratory system. So how do we know if the liver is healthy? If there are these 5 changes on the feet, you need to be vigilant, it may be that there is a problem with the liver, and you are advised to check the liver CT as soon as possible.
1. The skin of the feet becomes rough
If we have a good night's sleep and lifestyle habits, our skin is often in better condition. If the skin of the feet suddenly becomes very rough, it is a cause for concern, which may be due to liver lesions, which affect the normal function of the skin of the feet.
The decline of liver function will inevitably cause abnormalities in the nerve endings of the feet, and at the same time affect the blood supply of the limbs of the body, making the skin of the feet appear obvious roughness, so we must pay more attention to this time.
2. Cold and abnormal cramps in the feet
In daily life, there are many people who have cold feet or even cramps when they sleep at night, and this symptom is generally caused by poor qi and blood. Because the liver meridian has a close relationship with the body's foot Taiyin and spleen meridians, when the liver fire is strong to a certain extent, it will also cause a lack of qi and blood in the body.
Once the blood circulation is affected, it will inevitably lead to some abnormalities in the body, such as cold feet. The blood does not provide enough nutrients for the feet, which causes the feet to be cold and have abnormal cramps.
3. Itchy skin on the feet
When liver disease progresses to a certain level, patients may also experience itchy skin on the feet, which is not only uncomfortable, but may also affect the quality of normal life and work. If you find that you often have abnormal itching of the skin on your feet in your daily life, you must pay more attention to it, which is likely to be caused by insufficient liver blood.
4. Abnormal color of the feet
Under normal circumstances, the color of healthy people's feet should be rosy and shiny, if you find that the skin of your feet is sallow or dull, you need to be extra careful, this may be the appearance of sallow and dull skin of your feet caused by the increase in bilirubin levels, and abnormal bilirubin levels are mostly related to abnormal liver function.
5. The soles of the feet are dry and peeling
Normally, the feet should be moist and shiny, but if the liver function is impaired, it will lead to endocrine disorders, and the skin will be dry, scaly, rough and dull. In particular, there will be obvious peeling on the soles of the feet, and there will be a large number of dry and cracked dead skin on the skin, so after ruling out the corresponding skin lesions, it is necessary to be alert to the signals that may be sent after liver damage.
