Why do people with liver cancer faint? How should patients with liver cancer be cared for?

Why do people with liver cancer faint? First, liver cancer cells can secrete insulin-like substances ectopically, inhibit the production of insulinase, and secrete a pancreatic beta cell stimulating factor, which can accelerate glucose metabolism and lower blood sugar. Second, liver cancer cells love to eat sugar. As the tumor grows wildly, the huge primary liver cancer tissue will consume too much glucose and cause blood sugar to drop.

Clinically, about 10% to 30% of patients with primary liver cancer experience spontaneous hypoglycemia, which can cause dizziness, coma, shock, and even death in severe cases. Therefore, anyone with chronic hepatitis should not take it lightly if they faint, but should go to the hospital for necessary examinations as soon as possible to ensure early diagnosis and treatment.

How to care for liver cancer patients?

As a malignant tumor disease that seriously threatens human health, liver cancer is harmful and cannot be ignored. Because the disease develops rapidly and the condition is relatively complicated, in order to reduce the damage caused by liver cancer to the patient's body, in addition to actively seeking treatment methods and cooperating with treatment, we must also pay attention to the daily care of liver cancer patients. Let's take a look at it together.

1. Provide high-protein, high-calorie, high-vitamin, low-fat food. Limit animal oil.

2. Eat a diversified diet and pay attention to food combinations to ensure that the food has color, aroma and taste, which will help increase appetite.

3. Eat soft food that is easy to digest, avoid hard and spicy food, eat less fried food, eat small meals frequently, avoid irritating food and food with high plant fiber content, so as not to cause rupture and bleeding of esophageal or gastric veins in patients with liver cirrhosis.

4. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink fruit juice, and supplement vitamins.

5. Patients with fever should drink more water to help dissipate heat.

6. People who vomit frequently should temporarily fast to prevent food from irritating the stomach, increasing the frequency of vomiting, and wasting physical energy.

7. For patients with ascites, sodium intake should be restricted and a low-salt or salt-free diet should be given.

8. Patients in the early stage of hepatic coma or hepatic coma should be given a low-protein diet with a total daily protein amount of 20-40g. Try to use animal protein with high physiological value, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, etc.

9. Traditional Chinese medicine can improve the immunity of liver cancer patients and has a good effect on alleviating the symptoms of liver cancer patients, thereby actively controlling the condition of liver cancer, which is beneficial to prolonging the patient's survival.
