What does liver cyst mean

summary

The liver is the detoxification organ in the human body. For people who often drink alcohol, it is easy to have liver function problems, such as liver cysts. Let's talk about liver cysts.

What does liver cyst mean

First, simple hepatic cysts are congenital and non hereditary intrahepatic cystic lesions. The cyst is a closed space composed of epithelial cells and contains fluid. It can be single or multiple. This disease is a main type of hepatic cyst. Liver problems are generally caused by not paying attention to diet, which are mostly male patients.

Then it is generally considered that this disease is a kind of retention cyst originated from intrahepatic aberrant bile duct, which belongs to congenital dysplasia. The growth of hepatic cysts is slow, most patients have no obvious symptoms, and they are only found by chance during physical examination. Large hepatic cysts may present obvious compression symptoms. If combined with infection, there may be chills, fever, abdominal pain and other similar symptoms of liver abscess.

Finally, the treatment of hepatic cyst depends on its size, nature and complications. If the diameter is 5cm and there are compression symptoms, ultrasound-guided puncture can be used to relieve the compression symptoms. However, the cyst will be enlarged soon after fluid extraction, and repeated fluid extraction is needed. This method is easy to operate and does not need laparotomy. It is still a feasible treatment for patients with huge hepatic cysts who can not tolerate surgery. External drainage should be performed when the cyst is infected. If there are complications such as rupture of cyst, torsion of cyst pedicle, intracapsular hemorrhage or huge compression of cyst on adjacent organs, the patients need surgical treatment. The cyst should be completely removed as far as possible. If not, subtotal removal or at least 1 / 3 of cyst wall should be done to make the cyst fluid flow into abdominal cavity. If bile enters the cystic cavity, the latter operation is not suitable. Cyst jejunostomy can be performed.
