The survival of patients with ascites varies according to the cause: 1, if the acute cause of ascites, the prognosis is better. If the cause is acute liver injury or kidney disease, once the cause is removed and the primary disease is treated, the ascites can be relieved more quickly; 2. If cirrhosis forms ascites, the average survival time is five years. If the patient is actively and correctly treated, the survival time may exceed five years. If the patient does not receive good and timely treatment, the survival period may drop to one or two years. Survival can also depend on the prognosis of the disease and make a comprehensive judgment.
