Later stages of hepatocellular carcinoma are mainly due to chronic impaired liver function, reduced albumin synthesis, decreased plasma colloid osmotic pressure or portal hypertension resulting in an imbalance of intracellular and extracellular water metabolism, resulting in the loss of intracellular water to extracellular ascites.
The treatment of advanced liver cancer ascites is usually to choose regular pumping of ascites because the process of pumping ascites requires a sterile environment and cannot become infected.
When liver cancer patients develop ascites, they should pay attention to strict control of water and salt. For liver ascites patients, pickled vegetables, kimchi and other foods that contain a lot of salt should be eaten sparingly by patients.
