Muscle Wasting
Symptom Description:
Muscle wasting, or sarcopenia, can be a hidden symptom of liver cancer. This gradual loss of muscle mass is often attributed to aging or inactivity, but in some cases, it can indicate liver issues.
What It Might Mean:
Muscle wasting in liver cancer is caused by the body’s altered metabolism and the liver’s reduced ability to produce proteins. As the disease progresses, the body breaks down muscle tissue for energy, leading to noticeable muscle loss.
