Diabetes May Increase Chance Of Liver Cancer
Filed in archive Research on October 29, 2006
As if diabetes weren't scary enough, there are now study results that suggest it may increase the chances of developing liver cancer.
The presence of diabetes may triple the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis from hepatitis C infection, researchers reported here.
The five-year risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma in the presence of diabetes was 18.6%, compared with 5.3% for those without diabetes, Bart J. Veldt, M.D., of Erasmus MC University Medical Center in Rotterdam, and colleagues, reported at the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases meeting here.

This also means that a diabetic patient than consumes a bottle of alcohol a day may increase the risk of having liver problems in five times probability.Failure of liver due to diabetes may also cause kidney failure and cardiac arrest.

OMG! That is horrible. I cant imagine that that could happen in a patient with diabetes. Perhaps, the thing that the patient must do is eat plenty of fruits and vegetables so the risk of having liver cancer could be lessen.
