Is calf itching a precursor to liver cancer?

Calf itching is not necessarily a precursor to liver cancer, but the precursor of liver cancer may be calf itching. Patients should seek medical attention in time and receive targeted treatment in time according to the doctor's guidance to avoid delaying the disease.

There are many reasons for calf itching, such as dry skin, excessive mental stress and other physiological factors. The skin is affected by the above factors, and the epidermal barrier function is easily damaged, making the skin more sensitive to environmental temperature and fiber clothing, causing calf itching symptoms. Pathological factors such as diabetes and cirrhosis can affect the nutritional status of the skin, providing favorable conditions for the survival of bacteria and microorganisms, leading to calf itching. Therefore, calf itching is not necessarily a precursor to liver cancer. However, liver cancer patients have many complications. If they also suffer from cirrhosis, they will experience symptoms of calf itching.

When symptoms of calf itching occur, patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner and undergo blood routine examinations, ultrasound and other examinations to identify the cause. For example, diabetic patients can use drugs such as glimepiride tablets and metformin hydrochloride tablets according to the doctor's advice; patients with cirrhosis can be treated with drugs such as adenosylmethionine butadiene sulfonate enteric-coated tablets and asunaprevir soft capsules; if diagnosed with liver cancer, liver cancer resection and liver transplantation should be performed. Patients should pay more attention to rest and pay attention to the nutritional balance in their diet.
