Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. I would like to ask if late-stage ascites patients can transmit the disease to their family members?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in such a case, it is necessary to investigate which type of liver disease is causing the symptoms of cirrhosis and ascites. If the liver disease is caused by hepatitis B, it is contagious to a certain extent, and it is important to take precautions to prevent its spread during daily life. When the patient has ascites, attention should be paid to proper care for the patient. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more protein-rich foods and supplement with vitamins.
