What should I do if there are lymph nodes on the liver?

The liver is a very important organ for everyone. The liver is an organ of human metabolism. Many toxins in the human body are excreted by the liver. Once the liver is abnormal, the body's metabolic function will be affected, which will lead to abnormal health over time. Lymph nodes in the liver need to be treated in time. The earlier the treatment, the easier it is to control the disease. So what should I do if there are lymph nodes on the liver?

1. What to do if lymph nodes are found in the liver

If it is confirmed that the lymph nodes in the portal area are enlarged, it is still necessary to combine regular treatment with auxiliary treatments such as diet.

Lymph node enlargement is very common and can occur in people of any age. It can be seen in a variety of diseases, both benign and malignant. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the cause of lymph node enlargement and seek medical treatment and diagnosis in time to avoid misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.

Common causes of swollen lymph nodes. Chronic lymphadenitis: Most cases have obvious infection foci, and often localized lymph node enlargement, pain and tenderness. The diameter usually does not exceed 2 to 3 cm, and will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. Inguinal lymphadenopathy, especially long-standing, unchanged, flat lymphadenopathy, is usually of no importance.

Lymph nodes throughout the body may swell, especially those in front and behind the ears, under the jaw, and beside the trachea. It is difficult to differentiate it from malignant lymphoma clinically. Infectious mononucleosis is more common in young and middle-aged men and is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. However, the patients are usually in good general condition and may have fever and systemic lymphadenopathy, as well as mild spleen enlargement.

In a small number of patients, lymphadenopathy is the first clinical symptom. However, the injection site and supratrochlear lymph nodes are usually the first to swell. The diagnosis can be made based on injection history and fever, rash, eosinophilia, etc.

2. Causes of liver lymph nodes

2.1. Tumors: including malignant tumors originating in lymph nodes such as lymphoma, lymphocytic leukemia and malignant histiocytosis, as well as other malignant tumors such as lymph node metastasis of lung cancer, gastric cancer and breast cancer. The lymph nodes continue to swell progressively, and if not treated actively, they often progressively worsen and lead to death.

2.2. Infection: acute infection caused by bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, etc.; chronic infection caused by bacteria, fungi, helminths, chlamydia, spirochetes, filariasis, venereal granuloma, syphilis, AIDS, etc.

2.3. Lymphadenitis: It is often related to infection of nearby tissues and organs, indicating an inflammatory response in the body. Suffering from pharyngitis, periodontitis, rhinitis, otitis media, etc. may cause enlargement of submandibular or cervical lymph nodes.

2.4. Others: Angioprimitive immunocytic lymphadenopathy and angiofollicular lymphadenopathy can also cause lymphadenopathy, which is often benign at first but can become malignant and fatal.
