LIVER SIGNS and SYMPTOMS

Posted by BERITA ARTIS

Signs and symptoms:Common symptoms include abdominal pain and/or swelling, weight loss, weakness, loss of appetite, jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes), and fever. Enlargement of the liver is the most common physical sign.Deaths:An estimated 21,670 liver cancer deaths (6,780 women, 14,890 men) are expected in 2013. From 2005 to 2009, death rates for liver cancer increased by 2.3% per year in men and 1.3% per year in women.
Early detection:Screening for liver cancer has not been proven to improve survival. Nonetheless, many doctors in the US screen high-risk persons (e.g., HCV-infected persons with cirrhosis) with ultrasound or blood tests.source: American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts & Figures 2013.
