A yellow tint to the skin and whites of the eyes always indicates liver problems. If these signs are accompanied by poor appetite, itching of the skin, bloating and unexplained weight loss, it is worth considering the development of liver cancer.

This tumor develops from hepatocytes – liver cells that transform and become malignant. The yellow pigment that appears on the skin and eyes is formed due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood, which is formed during the breakdown of red blood cells.

Itching in liver cancer is associated with blockage of the bile ducts, which is why bile salts begin to be deposited in the skin and interfere with the circulation of oxygen. Abdominal bloating is a consequence of increased pressure in the liver and accumulation of blood in the veins. Sometimes a tumor may appear on the right side. This symptom affects the development of cancer in the later stages.
