Is water on the liver serious?

Water on the liver should refer to ascites. Whether ascites is serious or not should be judged according to the cause of the disease. If it is caused by drugs and alcohol, it is usually not very serious, and if it is caused by cirrhosis and liver cancer, it is more serious. Hepatic ascites refers to the ascites formed in the abdominal cavity due to fluid accumulation in the liver because of liver diseases. For patients with rapid appearance of hepatic ascites and obvious triggers such as drugs and alcohol, the prognosis is generally better through active treatment, while the prognosis of hepatic ascites caused by chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is not very optimistic, and it is prone to recurring. The most typical symptoms of hepatic ascites are stomach enlargement, abdominal distension and abdominal pain. At this time, in addition to actively dealing with the symptoms of hepatic ascites, the cause of the disease should be clarified in time and treated with appropriate and symptomatic treatments (e.g., raising plasma colloid osmolality, liver transplantation, etc.). It is recommended that when patients present with clinical symptoms of hepatic ascites, they should go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
