Welcome and thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Your symptoms are compatible with a disorder called Palmer erythema in. This condition can be caused by various medical problems, each having its own range of severity. In a lot of patients, red palms have no identifiable cause, and they are presented under primary Palmer erythema. However, there are many cases in which the red palms are a symptom of another disease, being presented as secondary Palmer erythema. I would mention:-smoking and alcohol intake-high blood pressure-thyroid dysfunction-kidney or liver disorders-polycythemia vera-diabetes-rheumatological disorders, etc. I would recommend performing inflammation tests and thyroid hormone levels to exclude this possibility. Your renal function, may be related to it. But as, I mentioned before, in many cases, the cause can not be found even after a lot of tests. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
