Hepatic cyst is a "blister" in the liver. It is one of the diseases that people often encounter in their daily lives. I believe many people have heard of hepatic cyst at least, but they don't know how it is formed, how harmful it is to human body, and what needs attention in life. Patients with liver cysts often dare not eat normally or have a full meal. Symptoms of heart failure may occur when the heart is squeezed. Symptoms such as pain and abdominal distension in the liver area, sudden enlargement of liver cyst or secondary infection, sudden aggravation of abdominal pain, fever and so on. Some may have palpable masses in the upper abdomen, accompanied by abdominal pain, vomiting, jaundice and other symptoms.

Hepatic cyst is a benign lesion of the liver. Cysts have no symptoms when they are small, and generally do not need treatment. But the cyst grows to a certain extent and is located in the liver parenchyma. Compressing normal liver tissue can cause swelling and pain in the right upper abdomen or back, affecting the quality of life of patients. Some patients also have abnormal liver function, and cysts protrude from the surface of the liver, which can oppress adjacent organs and cause various symptoms. If you have satiety, nausea, vomiting and pain after eating, these obvious symptoms need surgery. If the cyst is too large, it will rupture the surrounding blood vessels or cause bile duct damage. This can cause intra-abdominal bleeding, biliary fistula and biliary peritonitis.

Hepatic cyst may be good for squeezing intrahepatic structures, such as blood vessels, but squeezing bile duct may lead to jaundice and seriously affect the quality of life of patients. On the other hand, if there are cysts, especially multiple hepatic cysts, the whole liver of polycystic liver is occupied by these cysts, and the liver parenchyma is less and less. Finally, liver dysfunction, and finally liver failure. This situation is very dangerous. In this case, the only treatment is to replace the whole liver. Of course, these are rare examples, so generally speaking, liver cyst is not harmful to human body, and we need to monitor its changes all the time.

Hepatic cyst is a benign disease, which generally does little harm to patients. However, when the cyst grows to a certain extent, it may press the digestive tract structure to affect digestion and absorption, and may also press the liver structure to cause jaundice. In addition, multiple hepatic cysts may also lead to abnormal liver function and eventually lead to liver failure.
