my mom is freaking out because over the last week her palms of her hands have become really yellow. she has a history of being really sick, but doctors cant find out why. My aunt and cousin, who are both nurses, suggest that it is a liver problem. Im not sure, and im not really having much luck finding any information online, PLEASE HELP US!! -thank you!!

Well, it sounds like you are on the right track. A malfunctioning liver can lead to a build up of biliubin in the blood which in turn causes jaundice, the yellow coloring of the skin. I would look for other causes of hyperbilirubinemia. That might open some more doors of info for you.

Sometimes yellowness can be a sign of a bad liver . But test would show that .
Sorry about your mother

It sounds like jaundice from liver problems. A blood test could determine if it is or not. She needs to see a doctor right away.

I agree with your aunt and cousin.. I would have her liver checked. There is blood work they can do to check the liver enzyme levels. You can also do ultrasound to look at it..

I think she should see a dermatologist.
