Possible reasons for elevated bilirubin in liver cancer are impaired liver function, compression of bile ducts and so on.
1. Impaired liver function: when liver cancer is combined with cirrhosis in advanced stage, liver cells are widely necrotic and liver failure, the ability of liver to metabolize bilirubin decreases, resulting in increased bilirubin value in the body.
2. Compression of bile ducts: the growth of cancer compresses bile ducts, cancer invades bile ducts or metastatic lymph node enlargement at the hilar gate can compress bile ducts and obstruct bilirubin discharge, resulting in elevation of bilirubin value in the body.
There are other reasons for elevated bilirubin in liver cancer patients, which also suggests that the condition of liver cancer patients is progressing and changing, so they should go to the hospital in time for further examination to find out the cause of elevated bilirubin and carry out regular treatment and therapy under the guidance and advice of doctors.
