I have cirrhosis and recently started to itch all over what is the cause and what can i do about the itching?

Side effect : Itching is a common side effect of liver cirrhosis. I recommend healthy skin care including lukewarm short showers (not hot), and moisturizing your skin twice daily with cream such as eucerin or vaseline intensive care.

Liver enzymes: It is likely that you are having an increase in liver enzymes such as billirubin, alkkaline phosphotase, ast and alt. Also ammonia levels may be abnormal in your condition. You need to see your doctor and have a discussion with them about your symptoms.
