In the early stage of primary liver cancer, it is not a terrible disease, but if it reaches the middle and late stages, it may threaten life safety and infect other parts of the body. Therefore, each of us should learn the early symptoms of primary liver cancer, effectively avoid the possibility of various primary liver cancers, and protect our bodies from the effects of liver cancer. Therefore, this article introduces the following early symptoms of primary liver cancer, hoping that more people can detect this disease in time.

1. Before clinical manifestations appear, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFp) and ultrasound imaging can be used for general screening, which has a high detection rate for early liver cancer. It is usually suitable for people with unexplained liver pain or patients with existing liver disease symptoms. If someone finds that they have similar symptoms, such as fatigue, fever, and weight loss, they should be included in the scope of physical examination.

2. In the early stage of primary liver cancer, there will be pain in the liver area, progressive enlargement of the liver, hard texture and other physical signs. In the middle and late stages, there will be jaundice, splenomegaly, ascites and other symptoms. At the same time, patients with primary liver cancer in the middle and late stages may also suffer from hepatic coma and upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

3. Laboratory examinations show that patients in the middle and late stages may have abnormal liver function and elevated blood ammonia, and in severe cases, they may fall into a coma.

4. The diagnosis of subclinical liver cancer usually involves the detection of serum AFp supplemented by real-time ultrasound imaging. The diagnosis is generally not difficult, the effect is relatively obvious, and it is simple and easy to obtain. If there are difficulties, the diagnosis can be confirmed by using liver B-type ultrasound or CT-guided histological examination.

The above are the early symptoms and characteristics of 4 types of primary liver cancer. I hope that everyone will go to the hospital for a physical examination in time when encountering similar situations and similar manifestations, and recuperate under the advice and guidance of the doctor. Never delay the disease, and do not delay it without reason due to busy work. This will only delay your work and your disease. In addition to knowing the various symptoms, we must maintain a healthy lifestyle to fundamentally curb the occurrence of primary liver cancer and protect our healthy living conditions.
