When liver cancer comes, these two abnormalities will appear in the eyes. Go to the hospital immediately to do these two screenings for liver cancer

The liver is an important detoxification organ in the body. All kinds of food will be decomposed by the liver, and toxins will also stay in the liver to damage cells. In recent years, the incidence of liver cancer has also been rising. Because the liver is a silent organ, the symptoms are not obvious when problems occur, which leads to the disease being ignored. Most patients find that liver cancer has entered the late stage and lose their lives. In fact, when liver cancer occurs, the symptoms of the liver are not obvious, but other organs will be implicated and related signals will appear, such as the eyes. Therefore, if you find the following symptoms in your eyes, you should be alert.

What eye symptoms can liver cancer cause?

1. Yellowing of the whites of the eyes

When the tumor in the liver compresses the bile duct, it will cause bilirubin secretion disorder, causing a large increase in the bilirubin content in the blood, which will then cause jaundice. A survey found that 30% of patients with liver cancer will have jaundice symptoms, generally with yellowing of the whites of the eyes.

2. Eye bleeding

Abnormal eye bleeding may be caused by high blood pressure, which causes the microvessels on the surface of the eyeball to rupture, or it may be caused by abnormal coagulation function. Abnormal coagulation function is mostly related to liver problems, including liver cancer. Liver problems affect blood circulation, cause coagulation disorders, and cause abnormal eye bleeding.

How is liver cancer diagnosed?

If you have the above two symptoms, you should get checked in time, especially if you are in a high-risk group. Generally, liver B-ultrasound and blood tests can be used to preliminarily determine whether liver cancer exists.

1. Ultrasound monitoring

Ultrasound monitoring mainly uses ultrasound to scan the liver to understand the actual situation and see if there is cirrhosis or other problems in the liver. The doctor can make a judgment based on other examination results.

2. Blood test

AFP is tested by drawing blood. AFP is one of the reference indicators for liver cancer. If the AFP value is too high, the possibility of liver cancer is relatively high. However, because AFP does not have high specificity, it cannot be used alone to diagnose liver cancer. It needs to be combined with other diagnoses. In addition to AFP, serum tests can also determine coagulation function and other liver functions, such as transaminase. The combination of various data can basically determine whether liver cancer exists.

Warm reminder: if liver cancer can be detected and treated early and controlled, the chance of survival is higher, so high-risk groups should be vigilant. For example, people who often smoke and drink, overeat, have chronic liver disease or hepatitis B should have regular checkups to rule out liver cancer, and should not use drugs casually, stay up late, and ensure adequate work and rest time to protect the liver and prevent liver problems.
