Second, liver cancer has poor liver function, and its metabolism and detoxification functions are relatively reduced, thus affecting the normal digestion and absorption of fat, sugar, protein and other substances, leading to metabolic dysfunction, nutrient absorption disorder and insufficient energy in the body, thus inducing symptoms of emaciation and fatigue, and even cachexia in severe cases, bringing typhoid fever to the body and mind.
Three: Liver cells are seriously damaged during liver cancer, which leads to the overall decline of liver function. In addition to symptoms such as emaciation and fatigue caused by metabolic dysfunction, the liver can not normally play its detoxification function and inactivate some toxins contained in ingested food in time, thus affecting the normal digestion and absorption of food. When the body's intake of nutrition and energy is insufficient, there will be symptoms of emaciation, which will have a great impact on the patient's body. This is one of the reasons for the weight loss of liver cancer.
Nursing care of patients with liver cancer
Pay attention to food hygiene
One of the causes of liver cancer is caused by virus. To prevent hepatitis B virus, we should start with food hygiene and living habits. Wash your hands frequently and eat together. It is worth noting that hepatitis patients can't be cooks. Don't eat moldy and burnt food, which contains aflatoxin and causes cancer. Eating moldy food is also easy to cause liver cancer.
Don't drink polluted water.
Don't pollute drinking water. Drinking water with chemicals is easy to cause cancer. Tap water is not necessarily clean. There is a water tank on the top of a high-rise building above 5 floors. The water tank should be cleaned by a special person, and it is best to carry out secondary disinfection. The box of the water tank should also use chemicals that will not pollute the water.
stop smoking and refrain from drinking
Smoking and drinking are not good for fatty liver. Drinking wine, beer and a small amount of wine can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Actually, it's not. Alcohol is harmful to people's health. The gastric mucosa in the stomach has a protective effect on the human body. Alcohol will digest the gastric mucosa and the cells in the stomach will be damaged, so the toxic substances in food are easily absorbed by the stomach. This will easily lead to alcoholic hepatitis, reduce the immune function of the liver and the whole body and damage the detoxification function of the liver.
Prevention methods of liver cancer
1 Avoid mood swings, maintain an optimistic mental state, and try to avoid or reduce all kinds of stimulating activities that cause mood swings;
2 avoid overwork: excessive mental or physical labor will not only reduce the resistance of patients with liver cancer, promote the recurrence or metastasis of cancer, but also aggravate the damage of liver function, leading to the deterioration of the condition;
3. Get rid of bad lifestyles or habits: avoid smoking and drinking, avoid eating moldy food, and eat less pickled meat products;
4 life rules, daily life, outdoor activities, diet and nutrition, physical exercise, regularization;
5 to avoid infection with hepatitis B and C, the prevention and treatment of liver cancer has a long way to go.
Harm of liver cancer
1. Decreased resistance: Liver cancer will cause a series of symptoms of digestive system in patients, and patients will have serious problems such as anorexia, indigestion, emaciation, physical decline, decreased resistance and immunity, which will easily lead to various forms of infection in patients, thus making their treatment more troublesome.
2. Abdominal pain: Liver cancer can lead to different degrees of abdominal pain in patients. Patients with liver cancer will have persistent or intermittent pain in the liver area, which is generally characterized by dull pain and swelling pain. Once the cancerous nodule is ruptured, it will often cause acute abdominal pain and obvious peritoneal irritation symptoms, which will lead to blood pressure reduction and even shock, leading to death.
3, lower extremity edema: liver cancer will cause patients with severe ascites symptoms, the patient's ascites will compress the veins and lymph of the lower extremity, resulting in poor venous and lymphatic reflux of the lower extremity, resulting in lower extremity edema.
4. Bleeding tendency: Liver cancer will also make patients show obvious bleeding tendency, and patients will have problems such as gingival bleeding and subcutaneous ecchymosis, and even more serious will lead to gastrointestinal bleeding, which is a very important cause of death for patients with liver cancer.
Treatment of liver cancer
Surgical resection is still the first choice for the treatment of liver cancer, and early treatment is the most important factor to improve the prognosis of liver cancer. Early liver cancer should be surgically removed as much as possible. Early resection is the key to improve the survival rate. The smaller the tumor, the higher the 5-year survival rate. Indications of operation: the diagnosis is clear, and it is estimated that the lesion is limited to one lobe or half liver; No obvious jaundice, ascites or distant metastasis; Liver function compensation is good, thrombin time is not less than 50%; Patients with heart, liver and renal function tolerance.
