According to relevant statistics, about 37% of patients with liver disease are mistaken for gastrointestinal disease at the early stage and miss the early treatment of liver disease. Although liver cancer is highly malignant, the early symptoms are not obvious and can be easily ignored… Gastrointestinal discomfort Portal hypertension and intestinal dysfunction caused by hepatic vein cancer embolism can lead to abdominal stuffiness, increased frequency of stool (diarrhea), decreased appetite, ambiguous gas, indigestion, nausea, etc. These early symptoms can easily be mistaken for chronic gastroenteritis. If there is also a continuous loss of weight, weakness, etc., further examination is necessary. Itchy skin Itchy skin is mainly caused by a decrease in liver function, leading to the appearance of jaundice, which in turn causes an increase in bile salts and bile in the skin. In addition, impaired liver function and poor metabolism of bilirubin, which overflows from the blood and into the skin, causes itchy skin. Stomach pain Late stage liver cancer may suddenly occur with severe abdominal pain and peritoneal irritation, which may be caused by necrosis of cancer nodules or bleeding into the abdominal cavity. At this time, patients often present to the emergency room with the manifestation of acute abdomen. Fever As the pyrogen, a product of necrosis released from liver cancer tumor tissue, enters the blood circulation and is complicated by infection, patients may have “unexplained” sweating and fever, and a few patients may have high fever, above 39℃, usually without chills. It is sometimes not easy to distinguish ordinary fever from cancer fever of liver cancer, and it can be determined only after combining with blood picture and observing the effectiveness of antibacterial treatment. Hepatic vague pain in the liver area may be constant or intermittent dull pain or stabbing pain in the liver area, sometimes aggravated by position changes, and may radiate to the back or right shoulder or right upper abdomen. Edema 90% of hepatocellular carcinoma patients will have swollen liver. In addition, due to the compression of lower limb veins by ascites or obstruction of cancer embolus, the venous return is blocked, which often results in edema of lower limbs. Bleeding Some patients with hepatocellular carcinoma often have bleeding tendency such as gum bleeding, nostril bleeding and subcutaneous bruises due to impaired liver function and abnormal coagulation function. In addition, due to varices of esophagogastric fundus vein caused by portal hypertension, there will also be gastrointestinal bleeding. If 3 or more of the above symptoms occur at the same time, you should go to a regular hospital for further examination and diagnosis in a timely manner.
