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 are the symptoms of late-stage liver ascites?Doctor's answer:
Late-stage cirrhosis with recurrent ascites symptoms, accompanied by symptoms such as hypoalbuminemia, decreased appetite, esophageal and gastric varices, and abdominal pain. When there is a significant amount of ascites, it can compress the diaphragm, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and chest tightness. Upon the recurrence of these symptoms, it is generally recommended to hospitalize the patient for conservative treatment, including albumin supplementation, diuretics, liver and stomach protection, etc. The patient should be advised to follow a liquid, fiber-free diet to avoid gastrointestinal bleeding.
