Three major liver diseases that may cause liver cancer

The causes of liver cancer can be simply divided into two types: primary and induced, of which induced is more common. In addition to some external factors, liver cancer may also be caused by some other liver diseases. Here we will briefly introduce several common liver diseases that are the causes of liver cancer .

1. Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B virus is the main cause of liver cancer. Guangdong is a province with a high incidence of hepatitis, with a high number of new cases each year. How to prevent it is still the most important issue.

2. Alcoholic liver disease

As the name suggests, alcoholic liver disease is caused by "alcohol addiction". Generally, drinking more than 80 grams of alcohol a day for 5 years or even longer will lead to this disease. If you continue to drink like this for 5-10 years, the probability of developing liver cancer will increase.

3. Fatty liver

Fatty liver is a type of liver disease that has been increasing rapidly in recent years, but it has not received the same attention as hepatitis. In fact, if it is not intervened in the early stage, if it is waited for ten or twenty years, the effect of it developing into a dangerous disease will be greatly highlighted. Not only does fatty liver have a 3%-5% chance of developing into the cause of liver cancer, it is also the "prelude" to fatal diseases such as arteriosclerosis and cerebral infarction. Therefore, preventing fatty liver is not only for protecting the liver, but also beneficial for maintaining cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

The causes of liver cancer are mainly the above three types of liver diseases. It can be seen that it is very important to take care of the liver on a daily basis, and not to let some minor diseases run rampant.
