Patient's question:
I feel like my aunt's ascites seems to be getting a bit serious, because her stomach is really getting bigger and bigger. When I saw her a few days ago, her stomach wasn't that big, but in the past few days when I visited her, her stomach had grown several circles. Ascites, what is the most common clinical manifestation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, ascites is generally a problem with the liver. If liver inflammation needs to be treated, there are several aspects to consider. First, there is an ultrasound of the liver. The second aspect is liver fibrosis, which mainly involves low albumin levels due to portal hypertension caused by cirrhosis, leading to the recurrence of ascites. Therefore, it is necessary to administer external albumin supplementation and combine it with surgical drainage to remove the ascites.
