10. Fever and Chills: The Immune System’s Response to Liver Cancer
Fever and chills can be early signs of liver cancer, as the body’s immune system attempts to combat the presence of a tumor or other underlying health issues. These symptoms can result from inflammation in the liver or the release of inflammatory chemicals in response to the presence of cancerous cells. Additionally, liver cancer can impair the liver’s ability to regulate body temperature, leading to fluctuations in temperature and the onset of fever and chills.
It’s essential to monitor any episodes of unexplained fever and chills, particularly if they are persistent or accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss, or jaundice. While fever and chills can occur as a result of various factors, including viral or bacterial infections, they may also be indicative of liver cancer or another underlying health issue.
To determine the cause of your fever and chills, consult a healthcare professional who can perform diagnostic tests and recommend appropriate treatment options. By addressing the root cause of your symptoms, you can potentially improve your overall health and well-being. (10)
