Question

What should be done for a 59-year-old male patient with liver cancer who has developed ascites?

Answer

The patient is a severe liver cirrhosis patient who has developed ascites again. Due to the large amount of ascites, pump treatment is required, and nutritional supplementation is needed. Consider using albumin and fat emulsion for nutritional therapy. It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese medicine diuretic drugs for adjustment, and to diagnose and treat under the guidance of a professional physician, avoiding foods that may cause allergies, and controlling the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods. Treatment methods include the autologous ascites extraction and venous return therapy.
