In patients with ascites in the decompensated stage of cirrhosis, salt intake should be strictly limited. You can’t put salt in cooking, or soy sauce ah, vinegar ah, MSG ah, chicken essence ah, etc. containing salt, nor baking soda, anything that contains sodium ions should be limited. Commercially available hanging noodles are made with a lot of soda or salt, which is not suitable for patients. Soda crackers, etc., be sure to look at the ingredients list of the food you buy, containing salt are shot. If strictly limited, on the basis of this eating Chinese medicine regulation, experience shows that generally patients ascites gradually disappear within two weeks to a month, and later also more stable, less likely to reappear, if not stable, most of the salt restriction is not seriously caused. If the disease is more serious and salt intake has been more strictly restricted, and also eat Chinese medicine, but still not, can be appropriate, temporary use of Western diuretics, such as spironolactone and furosemide, starting with small doses, for example, one tablet each day, to increase to 2 tablets each time three times a day, depending on the amount of ascites and the severity of the disease, as little as possible. If the albumin is very low, such as below 28 grams, can be temporarily intravenous input one or two, but should not be used more, one can not solve the root cause of the problem, the second is too expensive, three, there are times when it is not easy to find, four, we can not use it will be given to the more needy patients. In my experience, limiting salt intake and eating Chinese medicine are the two most crucial steps. If the results are good, the patient’s albumin will gradually rise on its own. This is cheaper and better than intravenous infusion, which is made by the patient’s own liver cells, and, is indicative! It is very unlikely that it will go any lower in the future! This is a major step, a stage victory! Of course, in addition to these, I recommend a food therapy recipe, the practice is as follows: the market to choose two two size of live carp, buy 3-4 at once, buy home and executed, open the belly to remove the internal organs and black membrane (Namo Amitabha), but retain the fish scales, boiling water in the right amount into the casserole, put the red year good pepper 40-50 grains, stout white onion 6 can be cut off, good large ginger slices more than 8 pieces. Remember never to put salt and anything containing sodium ions! Then put in the processed carp, slow fire boil, low fire stew 2-3 hours, in the middle if the soup is not enough can add boiling water to maintain above the food ingredients about 2-3 cm, finally, strain the soup, other things on their own, relatives can eat. Soup it, put in the refrigerator to save, the patient wants to drink water, get 200-300 ml of warmed and drink, nothing to drink, drink and then do. This dietary therapy cooked twice on the “no strength”, but feel cooked once seems to be a bit of a waste ha, so maintain to drink a few days, sometimes, its diuretic effect is better than Western medicine, and will not hurt, but also to increase part of the nutrition, essential amino acids Oh sodium ions, containing this stuff will not work. No matter what condiments and food. Patients who have had liver and brain can also try this in conjunction with other treatments, which are actually designed specifically for patients with ascites and liver and brain.
