Is late-stage ascites treatment effective?

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 a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. I am asking if there is any benefit to treating advanced liver ascites?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to serve you. Ascites is generally caused by late-stage liver cirrhosis, which indicates that your liver has sustained significant damage. Although the treatment can be challenging, it is important to actively cooperate with your doctor. This can help prolong the patient's life and improve their quality of life. In terms of diet, high-protein and nutrient-rich foods should be consumed. When necessary, intravenous administration of hypertonic glucose protein may be required.
