Im waitin to see doc for scan on my liver and my legs r itching that bad that they r bruising is this anything to do with my liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be liver problem: The liver has been functions such as producing proteins, blood clotting factors, modulating your blood glucose and excreting bilirubin. If you have liver dysfunction, there can be a variety of symptoms. Itching can result if you have liver dysfunction and a high bilirubin level. Bile salts can deposit in the skin resulting in itching, though the mechanism is unclear. Bruising is also related.
