For patients with ascites pedis, which is in the decompensated phase of cirrhosis, the length of survival should be based on how quickly the disease progresses. The general 5-year survival rate under conservative treatment is approximately 14% to 35%.
The decompensated stage of cirrhosis may manifest as ascites with (or without) varices but no rupture bleeding, and the 1-year mortality rate is about 20%. Once ascites and peduncles are swollen represents the entry into the decompensated phase of cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis patient prognosis is related to the degree of cirrhosis, studies show that within 10 years, about 50% of patients in the compensated stage enter the decompensated stage, and the prognosis of cirrhosis in the decompensated stage is worse, about 14% to 35% of the patients up to 5 years survival rate, once in the decompensated stage there will be a variety of complications, and the patient’s average life expectancy will be significantly shorter.
Of course, the survival time is also related to the patient’s physical condition, treatment effect, rapid development of the disease, etc., and cannot be generalized. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment.
