What are the symptoms of ascites?

Ascites may be a common symptom of cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, chronic glomerulonephritis and other diseases, and timely medical treatment is recommended. 1. Cirrhosis: it is diffuse liver damage caused by long-term alcohol consumption and viral infection, and clinical symptoms such as ascites and fatigue may be present. When cirrhosis leads to elevated portal venous pressure and increased hepatic lymphatic fluid production, which exceeds the drainage capacity of the catheter, the lymphatic fluid may leak directly from the liver’s peritoneum to the abdominal cavity, thus forming ascites. It is suggested that these patients should pay attention to rest, avoid overwork, and if necessary, they can follow the doctor’s instructions to use injectable growth inhibitors, injectable posterior pituitary hormone and other drugs to reduce portal pressure. 2. Chronic hepatitis: refers to the necrosis and inflammation of liver cells caused by viral infection, long-term alcohol consumption and other factors, clinical symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and so on. Chronic hepatitis may cause hypoproteinemia, which reduces plasma colloid osmotic pressure, outflow of blood components, and increased lymphogenesis, thus leading to ascites. These patients should quit smoking and drinking, develop healthy habits, and if necessary, follow the doctor’s instructions to use drugs such as entecavir and silymarin capsules. 3. Chronic glomerulonephritis: generally refers to the impaired glomerular filtration function caused by infection, genetics and other reasons, clinical symptoms such as hematuria, proteinuria and so on. When the glomerular filtration rate of such patients decreases and leads to sodium retention, ascites may occur. It is suggested that patients should pay attention to rest, reasonable diet, and if necessary, can follow the doctor’s instructions to use Huangkui capsule, Bailing capsule and other drugs to assist in the treatment.
