Whether it is possible to drink a lot of water in the advanced stage of liver cancer should be analyzed with the actual condition of the patient, if there is a large amount of ascites in combination, it is not possible to drink a lot of water.
When liver cancer is in advanced stage, it is often accompanied by serious liver function failure, protein synthesis function of liver decreases significantly, serum albumin decreases significantly, plasma colloid osmotic pressure decreases, a large amount of body fluids leak out from blood vessels to tissue interstitial space, and abdominal fluid, i.e. ascites, will be formed when it accumulates in the abdominal cavity.
If a large amount of ascites has been formed, drinking a large amount of water may aggravate the ascites. In this case, the daily water intake is generally restricted to be less than 1000ml, and if accompanied by hyponatremia, the water intake should be less than 500ml. However, if the patient has no obvious ascites formation, there is no clear restriction on the amount of water to be consumed, but it is also necessary to avoid drinking too much water.
Whether the patient can drink a lot of water in advanced stage of liver cancer still needs to go to the hospital, consult the professional doctor and make a decision after comprehensively evaluating the patient’s condition.
