Early symptoms of liver cancer.
Some atypical "signs" in the early stage of liver cancer
Hypoglycemia: The liver itself has a strong compensatory ability. Only when the damaged area of the liver exceeds 70% ~ 80% will there be obvious hypoglycemia, manifested as dizziness, fatigue, sweating and other symptoms.
Polycythemia: Polycythemia caused by long-term liver cirrhosis or chronic liver disease without other reasons may be an early signal of liver cancer and should be paid great attention to. Because, when cancer cells in the liver divide, they will produce a lot of erythropoietin, which will lead to excessive erythropoiesis. However, while the red blood cells of patients with liver cancer increased, the white blood cells, platelets and lymphocytes did not increase. Therefore, the more red blood cells, the more vigorous the cell division of liver cancer. The clinical manifestations are facial redness and bloody body surface.
Hyperlipidemia: If patients with liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis have ruled out high-fat diet, heavy drinking, lack of exercise and some endocrine diseases, hyperlipidemia still occurs, which is also regarded as a signal of liver cancer. The clinical manifestations are the symptoms and signs of hyperlipidemia, such as obesity and atherosclerosis.
Liver cancer is a kind of cancer with very high mortality. Many friends feel that they are dying when they hear that they have cancer. In fact, there are eight kinds of nursing methods that can slow down the onset of liver cancer.
Eight methods to relieve symptoms of liver cancer
First, maintaining a good mental state is the focus of liver cancer rehabilitation. Family members and nursing staff of patients with liver cancer should help patients to relieve pessimism and fear, treat the disease correctly, establish confidence in overcoming the disease, maintain physical and mental happiness and rest with peace of mind.
Second, the liver cancer diet should be light, mainly fresh vegetables, moderate amount of high-quality protein, and eat less high-fat food. Fasting crude fiber food to prevent bleeding due to puncturing varicose esophageal veins.
Third, liver cancer with hepatic coma aura should limit the intake of protein; People with edema and ascites should strictly control the intake of sodium salt and liquid and enter a salt-free or low-salt diet.
Fourth, avoid using gravity to press the liver of liver cancer, so as to avoid liver rupture and massive bleeding.
Five, nursing staff should carefully observe the color, nature and quantity of the patient's urine. If the stool is black, be alert to gastrointestinal bleeding of liver cancer; Urine is less than usual, and ascites may be formed. You should inform the doctor for examination and treatment in time.
Basic nursing should achieve six cleanness (cleanness of mouth, face, hair, skin of hands and feet, perineum and bed unit), five prevention (prevention of bedsore, orthostatic hypotension, respiratory infection, sexual intercourse infection and urinary system infection), three noes (no feces, no bed falling and no burns) and one management.
Seven, keep the living environment clean and comfortable, indoor convection ventilation.
Eight, health education, guide patients to self-care, correct bad habits, do not smoke or drink, improve their self-care ability, avoid the adverse effects caused by harmful stressors, and help them maintain physical and mental balance.
2. Living habits of liver injury
Lack of sleep
I'm too busy at work. I am busy every day. Although I have dark circles and yawn, I can only work overtime endlessly if I can't finish my work. Is this your work style? Ten fingers can't count the health research related to lack of sleep, so you can imagine what kind of negative impact it will have on metabolic waste and detoxified liver!
Surprisingly, however, although lack of sleep does hinder the normal operation of liver function and damage liver function, the sentence "staying up late will fry the liver" is not completely correct. Even on the night shift, as long as there is a regular sleep clock, the liver still has enough rest time. Lack of sleep time is the cause of liver injury.
Don't love sports
Sedentary, in addition to easy accumulation of lower body fat, develop thick legs and fat buttocks, there is a more amazing study that sedentary can also cause liver damage. According to a study published in Korean Journal of Hepatology, about 6.5438+0.4 million subjects found that people who sit for more than 65.438+00 hours a day are 9% more likely to develop nonalcoholic fatty liver disease than those who sit for less than 5 hours a day.
As long as you exercise in your spare time after work, you can alleviate the crisis of sedentary liver injury! After all, the human body is designed for activities. Keeping the same posture for a long time is really not ergonomic. Starting with 20-30 minutes of moderate exercise every day, or taking 65,438+00,000 steps every day, are all healthy ways to slow down liver injury!
Excessive alcohol
Drinking hurts the liver! The composition of alcohol is ethanol, which needs liver metabolism, and the liver has a lot of work to do, and decomposing alcohol is only one of his tasks, so he can only load a certain amount of alcohol at a time. If he drinks too much, whether he drinks it once or every day, his liver will continue to be overworked, forming fatty liver or alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
Even if it is necessary for entertainment, we should keep in mind the principle of not exceeding the limit. Don't make fun of your health by drinking with friends because of saving face. According to the recommendation of the American Joint Committee on Hypertension, the daily drinking amount should be less than 20 ~ 30 grams. 30 grams of alcohol is equivalent to two and a half glasses of wine (1 20ml/cup),1bottle of beer (633ml) and 1.4 glasses of Japanese wine (180ml/cup). But even if it is moderate, drinking it every day will increase the burden on the liver. Stop drinking at least two days a week and let your liver breathe!
high fat diet
You may sometimes think that "delicious food is evil", because usually delicious food is either high in calories or high in fat! What is even more frightening is that fatty liver is hidden in the body, not to say that it must be fat, and thin people must not have it; It mainly depends on the type of diet you usually eat.
According to the survey of the Academic Foundation for the Prevention and Treatment of Liver Diseases, nearly half of office workers in China have fatty liver to varying degrees, which is mainly related to eating out, mostly greasy buffets, snacks and a sugary drink. It is the simplest and most effective way to improve fatty liver by starting with diet. Only by eating less sweets and refined carbohydrates, eating more dietary fiber and drinking more water can we avoid becoming a fatty liver family!
