What Is Liver Disease?
5. Red Hands
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can cause your palms to turn red for no apparent reason. This disease involves people who rarely drink alcohol, and stems from too much fat being stored in the liver. Although it often has no symptoms, NAFLD can cause inflammation, which can progress to scarring, and ultimately liver failure.
There are many factors that can increase your risk of NAFLD, including insulin resistance, obesity, and high levels of triglycerides. Although experts don’t know why some people accumulate fat in the liver, it is more likely in people whose body fat is concentrated in the abdomen.
