Are cold hands and feet in liver cancer a sign of death?

Cold hands and feet in patients with liver cancer are not necessarily a sign of death. They may be caused by decreased immunity, poor digestive function, or severe malnutrition. It is recommended to find and remove the cause and give treatment according to the doctor's advice. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Decreased immunity: Liver cancer usually refers to cancer that occurs in the liver. The cause of the disease has not yet been fully clarified, and it may also be considered to be related to gene mutation. During the disease, after chemotherapy, and in the late stage of the disease, the patient's body white blood cell count decreases and immunity decreases, which can easily cause symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection. Due to insufficient warming measures, the patient's hands and feet will be cold. If it is determined that it is caused by upper respiratory tract infection, it is recommended to follow the doctor's advice to give drugs such as Ganmao Qingre Granules and Ganmao Ling Capsules for treatment.

2. Poor digestive function: Liver cancer patients have decreased liver function, and their ability to secrete bile gradually decreases, which leads to gastrointestinal congestion, which can lead to reduced food intake, physical weakness, and weight loss, which is also the main cause of cold hands and feet. It is recommended to give patients easily digestible food or take medicines such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets and Domperidone Tablets, and at the same time, treat the primary disease.

3. Severe malnutrition: As the condition of liver cancer patients worsens, the patient's food intake decreases, which may lead to severe malnutrition, which can cause fatigue, weakness, cold hands and feet. It is recommended to give high-protein, easily digestible food to ensure balanced nutrition to improve the body's immunity. If necessary, consider giving enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition supplements, or using human albumin.

In addition, liver cancer patients with blood circulation disorders or severe conditions, or spontaneous rupture and bleeding in the terminal stage of cancer, excessive blood loss and hemorrhagic shock can also cause cold hands and feet. It is recommended that patients pay attention to cold protection and keep warm, pay attention to nutritional supplements, and go to the hospital's hepatobiliary surgery department for diagnosis in time to find out the cause of cold hands and feet, and follow the doctor's advice to give appropriate treatment.
