My 82 year old mom's hands and leggs are yellow today. I am trying to get her to go to the drs. but cannot convince her. Is there any idea what besides liver could cause this. It is only her hands and leggs. Should i take her to the hospital?

Yes!! Take her to the hospital. The yellowing of the skin is jaundice, which is caused by the liver shutting down. Take her in immediately.
