For people with liver disease, note: these six manifestations are "traces" of liver hardening.
So the symptoms of discomfort are not obvious. To show more obvious symptoms. Liver cirrhosis is not easy to find in the early stage. If the disease is allowed to develop to liver cirrhosis, the symptoms of liver cirrhosis can not be ignored. What are the symptoms of liver cirrhosis? First, the complexion becomes dark in patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, which is due to melanin produced by abnormal liver function. Second, there are many reasons for the occurrence of ascites in cirrhotic cirrhosis. the etiology of cirrhotic ascites can be ascertained. Once spontaneous peritonitis occurs, patients with low fever often have symptoms of bleeding, blood spots or bruises on the skin, and hematoma can occur in severe patients. Fever in the late stage of liver cirrhosis is mostly fever. Fourth, the sclera or skin of patients with skin jaundice is jaundice. More than half of patients with liver cirrhosis may have this symptom, which is due to abnormal bile excretion during liver cirrhosis.
In the early stage of liver cirrhosis, many tissues are healthy, and the daily metabolic activities are still carried out normally, so the symptoms of discomfort are not obvious. Only when the degree of liver damage is more than 70%, will there be more obvious symptoms. Therefore, liver cirrhosis is not easy to detect at an early stage, and irreparable results may occur if the disease is allowed to develop into liver cirrhosis. Therefore, the symptoms of liver cirrhosis can not be ignored, we must be vigilant.
What are the symptoms of liver cirrhosis?
First, the complexion becomes dark
In patients with chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, the skin around their faces and eyes gradually darkens, their face becomes withered, their cheeks are dilated by small blood vessels, and their lips become drier. This is often called the liver disease face, which is the melanin produced by abnormal liver function.
Second, ascites is common.
There are many reasons for ascites in liver cirrhosis. We can find out the cause of ascites in liver cirrhosis and take active treatment measures. Once spontaneous peritonitis occurs, the prognosis is extremely dangerous. Abdominal subcutaneous vessels are usually invisible, but with the progression of liver cirrhosis, with the abdominal umbilical cord as the center, the peripheral superficial vein process expands and radiates around, which is more common in the upper abdominal wall.
Third, often have a low fever
Patients often have bleeding symptoms, such as gingival bleeding when brushing teeth, blood spots or bruises on the skin, and hematoma in severe patients. The fever in the late stage of liver cirrhosis is mostly fever, the heat type is unstable, mainly moderate and low fever, at this time, antibiotic treatment is also ineffective, when the condition is improved, the fever will be reduced, if the occurrence of persistent high fever, most suggest the existence of complications, can not be ignored.
Fourth, jaundice occurs in the skin
The sclera or skin of the patient is jaundiced, and more than half of cirrhotic patients may have this symptom, usually mild, due to abnormal bile excretion during cirrhosis. If jaundice rises suddenly or occurs again, it means that hepatocytes are destroyed and should be paid attention to.
Fifth, the appearance of spider nevus
Patients with liver cirrhosis often have spider moles on the face and neck, as well as on the chest and shoulders, as well as the forearms and the back of the hands, which is also due to liver insufficiency.
VI. Endocrine disorders
The liver also plays an important role in the body's sex hormone balance. Due to the increase of estrogen or the decrease of androgen during liver cirrhosis, men's breasts will become swollen, swollen or painful, and the testicles will atrophy. For women, sex hormone disorders lead to irregular menstruation, or smaller breasts and sparse pubic hair.
Generally speaking, if patients find these symptoms, they should pay enough attention to them. This may be the early symptoms of liver cirrhosis, and they must be examined in the hospital in time. If they are diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, they must be treated actively to keep the condition from deteriorating.
