What will happen if liver cancer is not treated in time? Liver cancer will bring these harms to the body

As we all know, early liver cancer is not easy to diagnose, and people know very little about it. So if we don't treat liver cancer in time, will it cause us other diseases? We need to understand this.

Complications are caused by the progression of the disease or the trauma to the organs caused by aggressive treatments (such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc.) during the treatment of liver cancer. These complications can be alleviated by Chinese medicine. The complications are as follows. Many patients died of complications, not liver cancer.

Rupture and bleeding of liver cancer: Rupture and bleeding of primary liver cancer is a common serious and fatal complication of liver cancer patients, with an incidence of about 5.46%-19.8%. It is also one of the main causes of death of liver cancer patients, accounting for 9%-10% of the causes of death from liver cancer, and ranks fourth among the causes of death from liver cancer. Because the disease occurs suddenly and rapidly, and is often accompanied by shock, it is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis. If not actively treated, most patients will die quickly.

Hepatic encephalopathy: Hepatic encephalopathy, also known as hepatic coma or hepatic brain syndrome, is a common complication of liver cancer in the terminal stage. It is characterized by central nervous system dysfunction and metabolic disorders, with intellectual impairment, impaired consciousness, neurological signs and liver damage as the main clinical manifestations. It is also one of the common causes of death in liver cancer, causing the death of about 30% of patients.

Ascites: Ascites is a type of localized edema, which refers to the accumulation of excessive fluid in the abdominal cavity. Under normal circumstances, there is a small amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity, about 200 ml, which acts as a lubricant. When the amount of fluid exceeds 200 ml, it is called ascites. When the fluid in the abdominal cavity exceeds 150 ml, positive mobile dullness can be found during physical examination. The mechanism of ascites production is relatively complex and is related to the imbalance of fluid exchange inside and outside the body and the imbalance of fluid exchange inside and outside the blood vessels. Ascites can occur in many malignant tumors, and ascites that occurs on the basis of tumors is called malignant ascites. Both primary liver cancer and secondary liver cancer are often accompanied by ascites, which is closely related to the fact that liver cancer patients are often accompanied by cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

Infection and cancer fever: Complications of liver cancer can be caused by liver cancer itself or the frequently associated cirrhosis, or by anti-tumor treatments. They often occur in the middle and late stages of liver cancer and are one of the main causes of death in patients with liver cancer.

Jaundice: Jaundice is one of the common complications in patients with advanced liver cancer, with a complication rate of about 29.6%-37.5%. Jaundice is a clinical manifestation of yellowing of the sclera, skin, mucous membranes, body fluids, etc. caused by increased plasma bilirubin concentration when bilirubin metabolism is impaired. Bilirubin comes from aging red blood cells in the body. Its production, metabolism and excretion are closely related to the liver. Any obstruction in any link can lead to increased bilirubin concentration in the blood and cause jaundice. According to the cause, jaundice can be divided into three types: hemolytic jaundice, hepatocellular jaundice and obstructive jaundice.
