Patient's question:
The patient with cirrhosis and ascites has received 12 units of human albumin, 10 milliliters each. How many more units need to be administered? A few days ago, the protein level was checked and it was 31.8. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
In patients with ascites during liver cirrhosis, anesthetic albumin can reduce the severity of ascites and the degree of edema in the limbs. The anesthetic administration of albumin should be based on monitoring the results of actual data, and then confirming the amount of albumin. This cannot be administered arbitrarily. Additionally, during the treatment of liver cirrhosis patients, the patient's dietary condition and nursing care are also crucial. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
