Why does shivering occur in the late stage of liver cancer

Shivering in the late stage of liver cancer may be caused by nutritional deficiency, electrolyte imbalance, infection, neurological complications, hepatic encephalopathy, etc. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and receive appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Nutritional deficiency: Severe liver damage may lead to nutritional absorption disorders, nutritional deficiencies, hypoglycemia, hypocalcemia and other conditions that cause shivering. Maintain a balanced diet and take in enough nutrients, especially protein, vitamins and minerals, such as eggs, milk, tomatoes, etc. You can also use multivitamin tablets, vitamin ad drops, vitamin B complex tablets and other medications as prescribed by your doctor.

2. Electrolyte imbalance: electrolyte imbalance, such as hypokalemia and hypocalcemia, may occur due to severe liver damage. Electrolyte imbalance may cause symptoms such as muscle tremors and weakness. Regular electrolyte tests should be performed to maintain water and electrolyte balance. Sodium chloride injection solution, glucose injection solution, potassium chloride injection solution and other drugs can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Infection: Patients with advanced liver cancer have low immune function and are susceptible to various pathogens, such as bacteria and viruses. Infection may cause symptoms such as chills and shivering. Pay attention to personal and environmental hygiene and avoid contact with sources of infection. You can follow the doctor's advice to use drugs such as sorafenib tosylate tablets, rotatinib mesylate capsules, and regorafenib tablets for treatment.

4. Neurological complications: Tumors may compress or metastasize to the nervous system, leading to neurological complications such as epileptic seizures and Parkinson's disease, which manifest as tremors. Appropriate activities can be performed within the scope allowed by the physical condition to enhance physical fitness and immunity. You can also use drugs such as benzhexol hydrochloride tablets, levodopa tablets, and amantadine hydrochloride tablets as prescribed by the doctor.

5. Hepatic encephalopathy: Due to the severe damage to the liver's metabolic function, toxic substances in the body cannot be discharged, thus inducing hepatic encephalopathy, accompanied by drowsiness, coma, etc. Avoid excessive fatigue and mental stress, and keep a good mood. Use lactulose oral solution, lactitol powder, glutamic acid tablets and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Brain metastasis of liver cancer can also cause this condition. In daily life, we should pay attention to maintaining good living habits, avoid overwork, staying up late, etc., and have a positive attitude to reduce anxiety and stress.
