There is no exact time for how long can you live in the decompensated stage of cirrhosis with ascites, it is related to the patient’s condition, personal constitution and whether he/she actively accepts the treatment. 1. Cirrhosis is the end stage of many kinds of chronic liver diseases (such as fatty liver, alcoholic liver, viral hepatitis, etc.), when the patient has ascites, it is already in the decompensated stage, that is, the advanced stage of cirrhosis, and the function of the liver is seriously damaged. Liver cirrhosis is irreversible in the uncompensated stage, and the symptomatic treatment can relieve the symptoms and prolong the survival time of the patients. 2. If the patient’s ascites is mild and has no other complications, and actively receives treatments such as laparotomy and albumin infusion, his survival time will be longer. However, if the patient’s ascites is severe, accompanied by serious complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, or not treated in time, the survival rate of the patient will be seriously affected, and the survival time will be relatively shortened. When ascites occurs in patients with cirrhosis, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment and actively receive treatment to avoid delaying the condition and affecting the survival time and quality of life of patients.
