1, routine examination of liver function
It can reflect whether the metabolic function of the liver is normal, and it is a very important and basic examination item. Including albumin, globulin content, prothrombin time, alanine aminotransferase and other enzymatic indicators and bilirubin, bile acid and other series of indicators. With the deepening of understanding and the continuous improvement of detection technology, this examination is very important for liver function. Pay attention to this examination and draw blood on an empty stomach.
2, hepatitis B virus markers.
Because there are many carriers of hepatitis B virus in China, and the incidence of hepatitis B in the liver is the highest, the examination of hepatitis B virus is also a routine examination item at present. There is usually a single HBsAg test, or two and a half tests. Generally speaking, hepatitis B surface antigen is positive, that is, there is hepatitis B virus infection on the surface.
3. Image inspection
Common diseases such as B-ultrasound (fasting), CT, nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. It can be used to observe the morphology of liver tissue, the changes of liver blood vessels and whether there are substantive lesions in the liver. It is an important tool for the diagnosis of liver diseases, and many early liver diseases are found by imaging examination.
4, alpha-fetoprotein detection
Alpha-fetoprotein is one of the basic examination items for early detection of liver cancer, and it is a specific tumor marker for diagnosis of primary liver cancer, which has the functions of establishing diagnosis, early diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
Step 5: Skills
The above are the most routine detection items in the diagnosis of liver disease. If there are some abnormalities in the above examination, you need to consult a doctor for further examination in time, such as pathogenic examination (including various virus markers such as hepatitis C). In order to look forward to early detection, early diagnosis and early information search of liver diseases and reduce health risks.
6, the symptoms of early liver cancer are
1, fever
A considerable number of patients will have symptoms such as sweating and fever, most of which are moderate to low fever, and a few patients may have high fever, which is above 39℃. Generally, the symptoms of liver cancer are not accompanied by chills. The fever of liver cancer is mostly cancerous fever, which is caused by the release of pyrogen into the blood circulation after tumor tissue necrosis.
2, emaciation and fatigue
The symptoms of liver cancer are often more prone to fatigue than other tumor patients, similar to those of patients with chronic hepatitis. The cause of fatigue is unknown, which may be due to digestive dysfunction and nutrient absorption disorder, or liver function decline caused by liver cell injury, so that metabolic disorder and some toxins can not be inactivated in time, or liver cancer tissue necrosis releases toxic substances.
3, edema of lower limbs
Liver cancer patients with ascites often have edema of lower limbs, which can occur in the ankle and spread to the whole lower limbs in severe cases. Clinically, I have seen some patients with high edema of lower limbs, and the skin of thighs can ooze water.
4. Symptoms of digestive tract
Loss of appetite after meals is aggravated. The upper abdomen is full of warm gas, and indigestion, nausea, fatigue and emaciation are the early digestive symptoms of liver cancer, among which anorexia and abdominal distension are the most common. Diarrhea is also a common early symptom of liver cancer.
5. Other symptoms
The pain in the right upper abdomen is mainly persistent dull pain in the liver area, especially at night and after fatigue.
Low fever often has low fever of unknown cause. The clinical manifestations of liver cancer are very atypical. Some patients can go to the hospital with prominent symptoms such as high fever, jaundice and acute abdomen, and some patients come to the hospital with symptoms caused by metastatic lesions.
