Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite. 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's liver disease. They advised me to get injections. How can ascites be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Ascites is generally caused by liver cirrhosis or liver tumors. First, it is necessary to identify the underlying cause and actively treat the primary disease. If the ascites is mild, diuretics can be used to alleviate the symptoms of ascites. In severe cases, intravenous infusion of human albumin is required to reduce colloid osmotic pressure, thereby alleviating the symptoms of ascites. Currently, ascites can only be treated to relieve symptoms and cannot be completely cured.
