Patient's question:
Bile duct cirrhosis with ascites for over 2 years, pleural effusion for 3 months, low protein. How often should diuretics be taken, and how many days is the maximum?Doctor's answer:
The liver cirrhosis has reappeared with ascites, mainly due to hypoproteinemia. If the protein cannot be supplemented, the effect of taking diuretics alone is poor, and diuretics must be used on the basis of digesting albumin. Diuretics are not suitable for long-term use. If there is edema in both lower limbs, diuretics can be taken appropriately. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid medical consultation. If biliary cirrhosis is not cured after long-term treatment, the treatment plan should be changed promptly.
