China is a major country in liver cancer . my country produces hundreds of thousands of new liver cancer patients every year, and hundreds of thousands of people die due to cancer. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to it and strengthen their attention to liver cancer.
The cause of liver cancer is related to many factors, including alcohol consumption, diet, genetics, viruses, parasites, hepatitis , etc. Among them, three types of hepatitis are dangerous causes of liver cancer. If you "stuck" with these three hepatitis, it is likely to worsen into liver cancer.
1. autoimmune hepatitis
As the name suggests, this type of hepatitis is caused by the immune response of to its own antigen , causing damage to , thus causing hepatitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis is more common in women, and the number of female patients is about four times that of male patients. There are many reasons for the disease, mainly including genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, viral infections and drug factors.
patients with autoimmune hepatitis usually appear asymptomatically in the early stages, and the development of the disease is relatively slow, so it is difficult to detect the disease in the early stages.
Once the condition develops to a certain level, the patient will develop symptoms such as spider nevus , fatigue, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, jaundice . If the treatment is not done in time, it will cause serious damage to the liver, thereby increasing the risk of liver cancer.
2. Alcohol hepatitis
This type of hepatitis is caused by drinking a lot of alcohol in for a long time. Because Alcohol will damage the liver. If not controlled, hepatocytes will undergo steatosis, which will later develop into liver fibrosis and cirrhosis , increasing liver failure and even leading to death.
In addition to the amount of alcohol consumed and the duration of alcohol consumption, factors such as alcohol type, obesity, race, nutritional status, and other factors will also affect the development of alcoholic hepatitis.
patients with alcoholic hepatitis usually do not have obvious clinical manifestations in the early stage, but as the condition develops, the degree of liver function damage will become more serious. At this time, the patient will have symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, liver discomfort, abdominal distension, diarrhea, jaundice, and jaundice.
If you do not quit drinking in time, alcoholic cirrhosis will develop in the later stage. The liver damage at this time is irreversible. If no countermeasures are taken, it is very likely to worsen into liver cancer.
3, viral hepatitis
viral hepatitis is a type of hepatitis caused by virus infection . The main hepatitis virus types include type A, type B, type C, type E, type D and cytomegalovirus , etc.
Once these hepatitis viruses enter the liver, will replicate and release the virus in the liver, causing the body's immune activation . immune cell will kill infected liver cells, causing cells to die or apoptosis, thereby triggering the onset of hepatitis.
Once you suffer from viral hepatitis, most patients will have no symptoms in the early stage, and a small number of patients will have digestive symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, and bloating .
The disease develops in the middle and late stages, and the patient will experience clinical manifestations such as low fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, and . If the treatment is improper, there is a certain probability that he or she will develop into liver cancer. It should also be noted that this type of hepatitis is contagious, and patients should pay attention to avoid transmission to others.
Through this introduction, everyone has learned about the relevant knowledge of three types of hepatitis, namely autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and viral hepatitis.
After suffering from these three types of hepatitis, it is necessary to treat them in time to avoid aggravation of the condition and reduce the risk of liver cancer. The treatment method is mainly through managing daily life, paying attention to more rest, improving diet, and taking medication under the guidance of a doctor.
