Granted this was only like my second or third cirrhosis patient but I was pretty surprised too. There is also major itching from cirrhosis. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:20 5
- that sounds familiar. do you know what causes the itching? toxins? -- nm - loosilu Apr 30, 22:21 4
  - My notes say bile acids (I believe there is bilirubin breakdown. Hence, the patient will so turn yellow. I saw one of those). - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 30, 22:24 3
