Patient's question:
What does it mean when a child has hydropericardium?Doctor's answer:
Many factors can cause ascites, including heart disease, kidney disease, and liver disease. Since the patient has undergone heart surgery, the likelihood of heart disease is high.Recommendations: The key to treating ascites is to treat the underlying cause. If the patient is diagnosed with heart failure, antifailure treatment should be administered. If liver function tests are abnormal, liver-protective therapy is necessary. If albumin levels are low, albumin can be administered via transfusion. It is recommended to follow a low-sodium, high-sugar, high-protein (preferably high-quality protein), high-vitamin, and low-fat diet.
