What are the symptoms before death from advanced liver cancer? There are 4 symptoms before death from advanced liver cancer

Liver cancer is a disease with a high mortality rate. Although this disease is not a rare disease, many people do not know much about it. The symptoms of liver cancer are generally obvious. Once patients find related symptoms, they should receive treatment as soon as possible.

(1) Bleeding tendency: Gastrointestinal bleeding is common in the late stage of liver cancer and is also a symptom before death from liver cancer. It is mainly caused by portal hypertension leading to esophageal varices. Gingival bleeding, subcutaneous ecchymosis and other bleeding tendencies are common in patients with liver cancer combined with cirrhosis. They are mainly caused by damaged liver function and abnormal coagulation function. Therefore, patients with liver cancer should pay attention to severe bleeding.

(2) Hepatic encephalopathy: Hepatic encephalopathy is a manifestation of terminal liver cancer and the main cause of death from liver cancer. Common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include upper gastrointestinal bleeding, infection, hypokalemia, surgery, improper drainage of ascites, and the use of large amounts of diuretics and drugs that are harmful to the liver. Currently, we can only prevent and treat the causes, but lack effective treatments. Hepatic coma is usually a symptom before death from liver cancer.

(3) Pain in the liver area: The liver tissue will be damaged and infiltrated by the tumor for a long time, resulting in compression and damage to the adjacent nerve roots, local tissue ischemia and necrosis, obstruction of blood return, and infiltration of bones and periosteum, which can all cause severe pain in liver cancer. Therefore, the pain will be aggravated in the late stage of liver cancer. In addition, the constitution of liver cancer patients is extremely weak, so this is also a symptom before death from liver cancer.

(4) Difficulty breathing: Symptoms before death from liver cancer include difficulty breathing. Severe difficulty breathing can easily cause fear, and fear itself aggravates the difficulty breathing. If not treated in time, it can easily cause shock and death.

In the late stage of liver cancer, many patients tend to lose confidence in curing the disease, so to treat liver cancer, it is necessary to grasp the best treatment time. It is not terrible to have a disease, but it is terrible that patients ignore the seriousness of the disease and do not know how to treat it early.
