You have super-itchy skin
Primary biliary cholangitis — a chronic disease that destroys the bile ducts in your liver — rarely has super-noticeable symptoms, but one early sign is experiencing itchy skin. Sure, your skin might just be dry, but if it’s becoming a regular thing, it might be worth getting checked out because itchy skin is also an indicator of cirrhosis of the liver.
Your skin or eyes are turning yellow
Seeing the whites of your eyes turning yellow — or experiencing yellowing of your skin — can be scary, but it has a solid explanation: called jaundice, it’s due to a high level of bilirubin in the body, which is a yellow-ish pigment that’s secreted by the liver. If you notice the discoloration, it could be from many liver issues, from cirrhosis to hepatitis B.
