How long can you live with cirrhosis and ascites

Cirrhosis ascites can not be generalized, the specific survival time is related to the patient’s condition, physical condition, treatment methods and other factors. Generally speaking, the earlier the discovery, the earlier the diagnosis, the earlier the treatment, the smaller the impact of the disease on the life expectancy, it is recommended that the patient early formal treatment. The relationship between cirrhosis and ascites is very close, cirrhosis progresses to a certain degree will affect the metabolic function of the liver, accompanied by a series of complications such as ascites. Once cirrhosis appears ascites, it means that the function of the liver of the patient can not maintain the normal physiological activities, so it has entered the advanced stage of cirrhosis, and the prognosis of the patient is very poor after the appearance of ascites. If the amount of ascites is relatively small in the early stage, the patient usually carries out self-care and appropriately restricts salt food and drinking water, and the impact on life expectancy is relatively light in this case. If the amount of ascites is relatively large, and the patient’s self-care is not good, and the predisposing factors are not properly controlled, the life expectancy will be seriously affected, and many patients may die within a few years because of the complications of cirrhotic ascites. It should be noted that patients with cirrhosis ascites can improve the prognosis and reduce the adverse effects of the disease through early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, and many patients can be cured, and it is recommended that patients actively carry out regular treatment.
