AB KEY  POINTSEarly  cutaneous  signs  of  hepatic  disease  can  depend  on  the  etiology  of  the  disease,  particularly  whether  the  disease  is  viral,  resulting  from  nonalcoholic  fatty  liver  disease,  or  autoimmune.There  is  a  higher  incidence  of  hepatic  diseases  in  people  with  skin  of  color.  In  Caucasians,  there  is  a  higher  incidence  of  primary  biliary  cirrhosis.The  skin  findings  in  end-stage  hepatic  failure  include  jaundice,  spider  angiomas,  pruritus,  and  many  others.Mixed  cryoglobulinemia  is  the  most  common  extrahepatic  manifestation  of  hepatitis  C,  but  only  a  small  proportion  of  patients  with  cryoglobulins  have  a  clinically  evident  form  of  hepatitis  C.Lichen  planus  and  hepatitis  C  have  a  strong  clinical  correlation.
