Patient's question:
I have an aunt who has developed early-stage liver cirrhosis and currently has ascites. The doctor has recommended administering human albumin under anesthesia. I am unaware of the principle behind this treatment and its effects. I would like to understand more about the use of human albumin in treating liver ascites.Doctor's answer:
For patients with ascites, administering human albumin can reduce the albumin levels in the blood, which helps in the reabsorption of ascites in the abdomen. It can also enhance the physiological function of the liver, promoting a rapid and thorough recovery of the patient's condition, making it a very important therapeutic effect in the treatment of ascites. The duration of treatment should be determined based on your albumin test results. In addition to timely treatment for ascites, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can they receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, patients should pay close attention to their dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will surely drive away ascites.
