What Does Itching On The Palm At Night Suggest?
Question: I have itching in palm, it increases by night. LFT shows high value in alkaline phosphatase 179 and lymphosites 53. I had udiliv mintair fx limarin and zincovit for 2 weeks. It was normal and not much itching during those days. Again it came back after the course. Please advise.
Brief Answer:
You can start the course again.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concerns.
Your LFT level is not much alarming.all the parameters except ALP.Raised ALP is due to obstruction in hepatic outflow.
This might be the cause of the itching.
Itching may be due to other causes also like A skin disease,allergy,psychological etc.
As it was previously responded with udiliv you can star it again consulting your doctor.
Also look in the hand for any burrows, pits
etc.
Any similar condition in family.
You can have an ultrasound of abdomen by consulting your doctor to check liver morphology.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.

I don't see any marks as mentioned. Itching is bit irregular it sometimes it ll be there in palm then legs then upper or lower part of leg like that. Yesterday I felt a kind of burning sensation as well on my leg fingers along with itching. Is there any side effect if I continue those medicines. How can I bring alkaline phosphatase and lymphocytes to normal level?
Brief Answer:
Dont worry about the counts.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
If you take those medications for long duration then there will be side effects.
You can take tablet cetrizine 10 every night for itching..
Dont worry about the counts ..
As those are not serious..
They will come to normal level eventually.
Dont worry about the counts.
