Why the liver cancer can cause rise hemoglobin levels?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Liver cancer interferes with the liver's ability to transform hemoglobin into bilirubin, so hemoglobin stays in the bloodstream. when Hemoglobin remains high you may have headaches, vision problems, fatigue, dizziness, periods of mental confusion, and abdominal discomfort. You may also experience nosebleeds and flushing in your feet, hands, and face.

In rare instances liver hemangiomas produce erythropoietin and can cause polycythemia. Visit this site for information on this topic: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20980114/
