People with ascites do not necessarily live for a short time because there are many causes of ascites, such as tuberculous ascites, in which case the ascites also disappears after anti-tuberculosis treatment and hardly affects a person’s survival. In contrast, ascites caused by cirrhosis and liver cancer has a relatively short survival period. In the case of ascites caused by cirrhosis due to fatty liver and alcoholic liver, even if the ascites is pumped, the survival period is relatively good. In addition, ascites is sometimes due to the effect of drug treatment is not good, the patient can not stand, must be pumping ascites treatment, the patient’s survival is shorter. In another case, ascites is pumped in order to do laboratory tests to determine what disease the patient is suffering from, in which case the survival period is related to the resulting disease.
