The reason why cirrhotic patients need more bed rest is mainly to promote ascites absorption, improve renal blood perfusion and so on.
1. Promote the absorption of ascites: for most patients with cirrhosis, there are different degrees of ascites, then bed rest can increase the blood flow of the liver, thus reducing the metabolic load of the liver, promoting the absorption of ascites and reducing abdominal distension.
2. Improve renal perfusion: bed rest can not only increase liver blood flow, but also increase renal blood flow, which can improve renal perfusion and reduce sodium retention.
Cirrhosis patients should go to the gastroenterology department of the hospital in time to receive regular treatment, in addition to bed rest also need symptomatic treatment.
