Not all liver cirrhosis will become liver cancer. According to statistics, the proportion of patients with liver cirrhosis who turn into liver cancer is 10%. Therefore, only timely detection, early control and treatment can prevent the deterioration of liver cirrhosis and leave liver cancer in the body.
So what will happen to the body before the liver cirrhosis becomes cancerous?
1, liver pain
Once there is a tumor in the liver, the capsule of the liver is pulled, which will cause pain in the liver area. Pain mostly occurs in the right rib, which can occur irregularly or continuously. In addition, if you have a history of cirrhosis or hepatitis, sudden pain in the liver area may also be a sign of liver cancer.
2. Lose weight quickly
People who lose weight quickly in a short time, who are always exhausted and inattentive should be paid enough attention. This is due to digestive and absorption disorders caused by decreased liver function. In addition, impaired liver function can also cause coagulation dysfunction, which leads to bleeding, so bleeding is also a sign of liver cirrhosis canceration.
3. Increased alpha-fetoprotein
The best way to see if the liver is cancerous is to have a check-up, just a serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and abdominal ultrasound. If there is liver cancer, AFP usually exceeds 400 nanograms. Clinically, it is found that patients with liver cancer only find obvious symptoms after the serum alpha-fetoprotein rises for 8 months, so they should not judge liver cancer simply by symptoms, but should take examination as the first judgment method.
4, itchy eyes
As we all know, the liver begins to understand the eyes, and the health of the liver is closely related to the eyes. Under normal circumstances, if the liver function is strong, the eyes will be bright, itchy and swollen, and there will be no eye acid.
But if your eyes are inexplicably itchy and swollen, accompanied by fatigue, then liver disease is likely to send you a painful signal, which also reminds you that you need to improve and protect your liver. You'd better check your liver function in time.
5. Urine turns yellow
When we go to the toilet to urinate, urine can also reflect the health of the body, and we can better understand the health of the internal organs of the body through the urine.
For people with poor liver, observe the color of urine at ordinary times. If you find that urine is clear, transparent and tasteless, then your liver function will be stronger. However, if you find that there is a significant change in urination, showing the same color as strong tea, you should be alert, because cirrhosis is likely to hint at you. The main reason is that liver function is damaged, bilirubin metabolism in the body is abnormal, and it is discharged into urine, which makes the urine appear strong tea color. 6、
6. Yellow skin
If you find that your skin turns yellow in your daily life, as people often say, jaundice, then you should be on your guard, because cirrhosis is likely to approach you quietly. Under normal circumstances, people's skin should be white and transparent red, but once the skin appears jaundice, it means that a large amount of bilirubin enters the blood, affecting the skin's metabolism and turning yellow. This is also an important manifestation of abnormal liver function. In this case, I hope you can go to the hospital for liver examination in time to protect your liver function.
