What is the main cause of hypoglycemia in liver cancer?

The main causes of hypoglycemia in liver cancer patients are malnutrition, insufficient synthesis, excessive consumption, etc.

1. Malnutrition:

Most liver cancer patients will experience indigestion symptoms during the onset of the disease, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, etc. If this condition does not improve for a long time, it will lead to insufficient nutrient intake, induce weakness, and cause hypoglycemia.

2. Insufficient synthesis:

The liver is mainly responsible for metabolism, synthesis and decomposition. If you have liver cancer, it will lead to liver damage and liver blood sugar disorder, thus inducing hypoglycemia.

3. Excessive consumption:

Since the cancer cells in liver cancer patients grow rapidly during the onset of the disease, they will multiply in a short period of time and consume a large amount of glycogen stored in the liver. If not treated in time, it will also induce hypoglycemia.

It may also be related to metabolic disorders, hormone inactivation disorders, etc. It is recommended to strengthen nutritional support treatment during the illness and eat more foods rich in carbohydrates and vitamins. If the effect is not good, glucose, albumin, plasma, etc. can be intravenously infused under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, the primary disease needs to be treated, and timely surgical treatment is required to remove the lesion and prevent further development.
