'Liver Problems and Other Internal Conditions
Itching from liver problems, according to the Mayo Clinic, is all over the body, increases at night, and is not relieved by moisturising, antihistamines or home remedies for dry skin. This type of whole-body itching could also indicate other internal conditions like coeliac disease, iron deficiency anaemia, thyroid problems and certain cancers, including leukaemia and lymphoma.
Why Liver Problems Make Skin Itch
The uncontrollable itching that comes with liver problems happens when the liver can no longer perform its job of filtering toxins out of the body, according to the University of Illinois Medical Center. As the bile and wastes build up in your blood, they make the skin incredibly itchy, especially at night.'

My grandfather had this problem. The hospital put mittens on him at night so he would not scratch too much. Jeanie I wonder if you could get socks for Tibbe so he would not scratch himself raw?
