Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that 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 was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what dietary precautions should be taken for people with ascites?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for patients with ascites, it is necessary to strictly control the intake and excretion of fluids. This requires adopting a low-sodium diet, deciding on a high-calorie, high-protein, high-fiber, and easily replenishable diet. If hepatic encephalopathy occurs again, protein intake must be controlled, and a diet that is easily absorbed should be chosen to prevent smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as avoiding overly rough food and spicy, irritating foods.
