Patients with hepatic ascites do not gain weight, instead they lose weight due to poor digestion and absorption.
Hepatic ascites refers to the large amount of abdominal fluid in the decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis, which is a manifestation of severe hepatic insufficiency. Patients due to gastrointestinal stasis, liver metabolic dysfunction and other factors will have serious maldigestion and malabsorption, followed by malnutrition, manifested as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, poor nutrition, emaciation and other symptoms, but will not grow fat.
Cirrhosis patients with a large amount of ascites, can be manifested as abdominal bulging, shaped like a frog abdomen, but this is not the manifestation of fat, but a large amount of fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
Cirrhosis patients are advised to go to the hospital as soon as possible, and ask professional doctors to fully assess their conditions and make reasonable treatment plans to avoid further deterioration or serious complications.
