What dangerous diseases do dark circles under the eyes indicate?

Dark circles under the eyes can signal serious diseases, not just lack of sleep. This alarming conclusion was made by surgeon and lecturer at the State University of Education Alexander Umnov in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

The specialist noted that bruises in the under-eye area often occur due to traumatic injuries to the skull, upper jaw, or eye socket. However, this problem can also indicate serious disorders in the liver or cardiovascular system.

"With liver diseases, there is a disruption in vascular permeability, which causes blood to seep into surrounding tissues," Umnov explained. "This process is directly related to a deficiency of proteins responsible for regulating oncotic pressure, resulting in bleeding."
