Fatty liver refers to a condition in which too much fat accumulates inside liver cells. It is understood that the liver is mainly responsible for the consumption of fat and the transport of work, normally does not store fat, but if there is a problem with the transport of fat.
Then a large amount of fat will accumulate inside the liver cells, thus forming a fatty liver. There are many causes of this problem, the most common of which is excessive alcohol consumption.
Studies have shown that about 60% of alcoholics may develop fatty liver conditions.
In addition, if the patient consumes some high-fat or high-sugar foods for a long time, it may also lead to the occurrence of disease.
Regarding this disease, as long as the patient can treat it in time, then there is a great chance that it can return to normal.
But if the patient has been allowing this disease to develop, then the liver may develop lesions, which will gradually develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer.
Therefore, patients should pay attention to their own condition in the usual time, once the following symptoms appear, then it means that fatty liver is developing towards liver cancer.
1. Nausea and vomiting
If the patient's liver is damaged, a series of abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting will occur.
However, these symptoms are not very specific, so many patients may treat them as a common disease, missing the optimal treatment time. Over time, patients may also be accompanied by problems such as dizziness and a drop in blood pressure.
2. Anorexia
If the patient begins to have a loss of appetite, decreased appetite, etc., then it is necessary to be particularly vigilant, which may be a sign of the deterioration of fatty liver. It is understood that as the problem of fatty liver becomes more and more serious, the damage to the liver part will become larger and larger, so that the patient's digestive ability will continue to decline, which will lead to the problem of loss of appetite.
Therefore, if the patient always feels that he can't eat anything for a period of time, and his spirit is not very good, then he must go to the hospital in time to check it, determine the severity of fatty liver, and deal with it as soon as possible.
3. Liver pain
If the fat accumulated inside the liver cells exceeds the standard, the ligaments around the liver are compressed, resulting in pain in the liver area, indicating that the patient has reached the level of severe fatty liver. As the condition worsens, this pain becomes more pronounced.
Therefore, patients should go to the hospital for treatment in time to improve pain symptoms through various professional methods to avoid more serious damage to the liver.
4. Spider angioma
This spider mole usually appears on the face, neck, arms and forebreast, and the size of the spider mole varies from part to part.
This symptom is common in patients with viral liver cancer, but sometimes it may occur in patients with fatty liver disease.
When the patient has this symptom, it means that the condition has begun to worsen further, and if the patient chooses to ignore it, then the mole is likely to become cancerous due to external stimulation.
5. Blurred vision
With the continuous development of fatty liver, the liver part will have the problem of lesions, which will hinder the function of liver metabolism, so that the function of liver metabolism will be hindered.
The liver is unable to metabolize and synthesize vitamin A. But you know, the retina needs to rely on the synthesis of vitamin A to be able to function in normal times.
As a result, the patient's vision will further decline, resulting in vision loss and blurred vision.
The above is the 5 main symptoms of fatty liver to develop liver cancer, although fatty liver to develop into liver cancer, the period takes about ten years, but patients in the usual time or as far as possible through dietary adjustment to improve the patient's condition, so as to prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer diseases.
In addition, patients can also properly carry out some physical exercises to improve the blood circulation capacity in the body, promote the consumption of fat, thereby reducing the risk of disease, but it should be noted that even if the disease is treated and restored to health, patients should continue to do a good job in nursing to avoid recurrence of the disease.
