10 Symptoms of Liver Cancer
Symptom #6: Weakness
Weakness or asthenia is a common symptom seen in many conditions. It can be divided into true and perceived weakness. True weakness is a symptom that is seen in conditions that affect skeletal muscles such as myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophy, and inflammatory myopathy.
Perceived weakness occurs when an individual feels that there is more effort required than normal to exert an amount of force despite having normal muscle strength. In liver cancer, weakness can be seen in the early stages of the disease, even before diagnosis.
