What is the cause of edema in the hands and feet in the late stage of lung cancer?

Edema in the hands and feet of patients with advanced lung cancer is generally caused by heart failure, liver and kidney metastasis of advanced lung cancer, etc. It is recommended to find out the cause in time.

1. Heart failure: It may not be related to lung cancer, but is caused by heart failure. In addition to edema of the hands and feet, patients may also experience fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and dyspnea. Patients can usually be treated with medication, such as oral metoprolol tartrate sustained-release tablets, digoxin tablets, etc.

2. Lung cancer metastasis to the liver and kidneys: Lung cancer metastasis to the liver and kidneys causes liver and kidney damage, so patients will experience edema in their hands and feet, and even symptoms such as proteinuria and hematuria, which usually belong to advanced lung cancer. Patients usually need to actively undergo anti-tumor treatment, including surgical treatment, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, to help relieve symptoms.

Patients with advanced lung cancer have a relatively large physical consumption, so they need to eat some nutritious food, such as pork rib soup, crucian carp soup, etc. They can also eat some fresh vegetables and fruits. At the same time, they should also pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and actively adjust their negative emotions to cooperate with treatment.
