Question

What does it mean for a child to have abdominal hydrops?

Answer

Abdominal hydrops can be caused by various diseases, including heart, kidney, and liver problems. If heart failure is detected, anti-heart failure treatment is needed. If liver function tests are poor, liver protection treatment is required, and if albumin levels are low, albumin infusion may be necessary. It is recommended to adopt a diet low in salt, high in sugar and protein (especially high-quality protein), rich in vitamins, and low in fat.
