Liver cancer was diagnosed in the late stage because it was ignored

Cirrhosis of the liver is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate at present and is a disease of the liver. If cirrhosis is not treated early and effectively, it will enter the late stage of cirrhosis, which will be more difficult to treat. So what are the symptoms of late-stage liver cirrhosis? Let’s take a look together below.

1. Swelling of the lower limbs, swelling of the face, increase in abdominal circumference, and ascites.

2. There is an obvious bleeding tendency.

Recently, not only gum bleeding and nosebleeds have occurred, but also bleeding spots have appeared on the skin and mucous membranes, ecchymosis has appeared at the injection site, tarry black stools and even bloody stools have appeared, and the prothrombin time has dropped to below 40x25. If there is persistent hiccups, it should be regarded as a precursor to gastrointestinal bleeding.

3. The patient becomes extremely fatigued and has difficulty taking care of himself.

4. The urine volume decreases day by day, and the daily urine volume is less than 500ml.

5. If the patient is found to be mentally abnormal, suddenly excited and talkative but incoherent, and has orientation and calculation problems, pay attention to the occurrence of hepatic coma.

6. Recently, there has been an uncontrollable low fever, accompanied by an increase in neutrophil count.

7. Jaundice reappears, or a relatively stable low jaundice index suddenly increases.

8. Severe abdominal distension, which is more severe at night, causing restlessness, insomnia, shortness of breath and stuffiness.

9. Severe loss of appetite, eating less than 200g of staple food per day.

How long a person with cirrhosis can live is closely related to the timing of treatment.

If cirrhosis can be effectively treated in the early stages, most cases of cirrhosis can be controlled and reversed. For these patients who receive timely treatment, their livers will maintain normal functions or normal compensatory functions for a long time, and they can survive with the disease for a long time, living and working basically like healthy people without affecting their lifespan.

Patients whose cirrhosis is under control in the early stages have stable liver function and can still basically withstand the energy consumption of work and life. In terms of work ability and intensity, they are not much different from normal people. In this state, life and quality of life are good, and if there are no other accidents, there is no problem living to seventy or eighty years old.

However, if cirrhosis is not discovered in its early stages or is neglected in treatment, once cirrhosis enters the late stages, the patient's survival rate and survival period will be significantly shortened. With proper treatment, the condition of most people can be controlled and basically cured, but it is very difficult to recover to be completely healthy. The emergence of complications not only reduces the quality of life, but also threatens the lives of patients with advanced cirrhosis at any time. In particular, upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hepatic encephalopathy in the late stage of cirrhosis have a high mortality rate.

Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has understood the symptoms of liver cirrhosis progressing to the late stage. In our daily lives, we can do more examinations, pay attention to changes in our bodies, and effectively treat cirrhosis as early as possible. I hope this introduction will be helpful to you all.
