What are the eight symptoms of advanced liver cancer before death

First: sudden abdominal pain: if a patient suddenly has abdominal pain, it is the most dangerous sign before death. Most of the abdominal pain is caused by the rupture of advanced liver cancer nodules and the inflow of ruptured cancer tissue into the abdominal cavity, which is usually accompanied by the phenomenon of blood pressure drop or even shock. This is also one of the reasons for the highest mortality rate of liver cancer patients. Malignant ascites: many patients will have ascites in the late stage, and appear again soon after pumping, and the interval between ascites is getting shorter and shorter, some patients will have bloody ascites. This symptom patients due to long-term ascites pumping more serious cachexia, severe malnutrition, patients with this situation, alert risk.

Second: malignant pericardium, pleural effusion: late patients will not only have ascites, if there is pleural effusion, pericardial effusion prompt: the patient's condition worsens, if improper treatment can cause rapid deterioration, leading to death. High fever does not subside: Patients with advanced liver cancer generally have low fever, sometimes above 39 ℃, showing persistent or afternoon low fever or flaccid high fever. The late symptoms of the HCC are related to the absorption of tumor necrosis products. Cancer compression or invasion of the bile duct can be complicated by biliary tract infection - cancerous fever.

Third: gastrointestinal bleeding: if liver cancer patients are caused by liver cirrhosis, they are often accompanied by portal hypertension, portal collateral circulation, esophageal and gastric varices. If the patients accidentally eat stimulating food, they are likely to have symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is another important cause of death. Cachexia: due to the aggravation of the disease, serious damage to liver function, coupled with loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, nutrition intake and absorption can not reach the normal standard, so it often leads to liver cancer patients becoming thinner and thinner.
