What are the hazards of liver cancer? These three points need attention

One of the hazards of liver cancer is secondary infection, such as pneumonia, intestinal infection or fungal infection. Liver cancer can easily lead to hepatorenal syndrome and, in severe cases, hepatic encephalopathy, which can endanger the patient's life at any time.

1. Secondary infection <br/>Due to the long-term consumption caused by liver cancer, the patient's body resistance will be significantly weakened, especially for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Once the body's resistance is weakened, it is easy to develop various infections, such as pneumonia, intestinal infection or fungal infection.
2. Leading to hepatorenal syndrome <br/>Most liver cancer patients are accompanied by liver cirrhosis. If the liver function is decompensated, functional renal failure symptoms such as oliguria or anuria and azotemia will suddenly appear. Although there is no organic lesion in the kidney at this time, if the disease develops rapidly, it may worsen the condition in a short period of time and even lead to death.
3. Hepatic encephalopathy <br/>Hepatic encephalopathy is prone to occur in the late stage of liver cancer, usually due to severe and extensive destruction of the liver parenchyma caused by liver cancer or concurrent cirrhosis. The cure rate of this disease is low and the mortality rate is high.
