Could dry eyes be a precursor to liver cancer?

Patients with high-risk factors for liver cancer, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, alcoholic hepatitis, and autoimmune liver disease, need close follow-up and reexamination to detect early liver cancer, so it cannot be determined that dry eyes are a precursor to liver cancer. Early liver cancer is usually asymptomatic or has atypical symptoms. Some patients will experience abdominal distension, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, etc. Dry eyes have no obvious relationship with liver cancer.

Is death from liver cancer contagious?

Patients with advanced liver cancer usually do not develop infection even if they are infected with hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses, but few liver cancer patients are infected with hepatitis A and hepatitis E viruses. These two viral infections can usually be transmitted through the digestive tract, that is, transmitted orally, and are somewhat contagious, so attention should be paid. However, liver cancer is often caused by hepatitis and other liver diseases, and many liver diseases are also family diseases, so there is a possibility of infection. Cancer is a malignant disease that is not contagious.

Can blood liver function test detect liver cancer?

Since liver cancer is hidden and has no early symptoms, early diagnosis mainly relies on screening of people at high risk of liver cancer. Screening items include serum alpha-fetoprotein test and liver color Doppler ultrasound examination, and the screening cycle is once every 3-6 months. If imaging examination finds liver space-occupying lesions, you should be alert to the possibility of liver cancer. If necessary, CT or tumor puncture biopsy can be performed under the guidance of color Doppler ultrasound. Routine blood tests generally cannot detect liver cancer.
