What is the cause of jaundice liver cancer

Reason 1: intrahepatic and hilar tumor nodules or hilar lymph node enlargement oppress all levels of bile duct, resulting in poor bile drainage, conjugated bilirubin and unconjugated bilirubin back into the blood, blood bilirubin concentration increased, mainly conjugated bilirubin, causing obstructive jaundice. Generally speaking, if it causes bile obstruction, it will also cause this situation, so it is more common in clinical medicine.

The second reason: the formation of tumor thrombus in bile duct, including necrosis, tumor shedding, growth in bile duct, primary tumor breaking into bile duct, or tumor bleeding, embolus formed by blood clot containing cancer cells, obstruction of bile duct, etc., can lead to obstructive jaundice. This reason is rare in clinical medicine. Once it appears, it may be the spread of cancer cells.

The third reason: diffuse liver cancer or severe cirrhosis, due to extensive liver cell damage, bilirubin in the liver generation, metabolism and excretion disorders, resulting in the blood levels of conjugated bilirubin and unconjugated bilirubin are increased, resulting in hepatocellular jaundice, but also due to intrahepatic tumor compression of the biliary system, combined with obstructive jaundice, mixed jaundice. This kind of reason is more common in clinical medicine, most of them are caused by liver disease in patients with liver cancer.
