What are the common symptoms of primary liver cancer? Clinical symptoms of primary liver cancer

If liver cancer is discovered early, patients will often have fever. Cancer fever is caused by tumor tissue necrosis, increased metabolic products, and tumor compression of the bile duct combined with cholangitis. Symptoms of primary liver cancer are often not accompanied by chills. Unexplained low fever is a common symptom of primary liver cancer, and the body temperature is generally between 37.5℃ and 38℃.

However, diffuse inflammatory liver cancer often has a high fever of over 39°C, which can be easily misdiagnosed as liver abscess. Antibiotic treatment is often ineffective, but indomethacin (indomethacin) can reduce fever. Liver cancer patients can also suffer from diarrhea due to gastrointestinal functional disorders. This is mainly caused by varying degrees of liver damage leading to a decrease in digestion and absorption capacity.

Symptoms of primary liver cancer can also be caused by the metastasis of liver cancer cells to form portal vein cancer thrombus. Although this symptom is not very common, it can sometimes be the first symptom of primary liver cancer. It is often mistaken for gastrointestinal infection and misdiagnosed as diarrhea. It may not be accompanied by abdominal pain. Generally, diarrhea occurs after eating. The stool is mostly undigested food residues, often without pus and blood. Anti-inflammatory drugs cannot control the disease. In severe cases, the patient may have more than ten bowel movements a day, which can rapidly worsen the condition.
