Dietary principles The diet of patients with liver ascites should follow the “three highs and one low” dietary principles, i.e., higher carbohydrates, vitamins, proteins and lower fats. In addition, the food for patients with liver ascites should be soft, light and easy to digest, and semi-liquid or soft rice is preferred. Adopt the dietary principle of small amount and multiple meals. Prohibit oil frying, greasy, hard and easy to bloat food, avoid all kinds of alcohol, quit smoking is also must bear in mind the common sense. Second, the principle of different groups of people Different groups of patients with different kinds of supplementation, such as severe renal and hepatic failure of cirrhosis ascites patients, should be carbohydrate-based, should limit the amount of protein; for hypoproteinemic cirrhosis ascites patients, should be supplemented with protein and vitamins. 1, the diet needs to be light. Alcoholic cirrhotic ascites patients, often accompanied by esophageal varices, prone to esophageal vein rupture bleeding. Should be given soft, light, easy to digest food, to semi-liquid or soft rice is better, small amount of meals. Avoid fried, greasy, hard and easy to bloat food, avoid all kinds of alcohol. 2.Reasonable application of protein. In order to promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells, the supply of protein should be increased, which generally accounts for 15% of the total caloric energy, and in particular, a certain amount of high-quality protein should be guaranteed, such as the supply of animal proteins and soybean products, etc. However, it must be noted that it should not be excessive. But we must pay attention to not too much supplementation, once too much easily cause hepatic coma phenomenon. 3.Supply sufficient carbohydrates. Adequate carbohydrates can reduce the consumption of protein, reduce the burden on the liver; carbohydrates can maintain the glycogen content of liver cells, so that it is used in the composition and proliferation of liver tissue to protect the liver. Prevent toxins from damaging liver cells, you can eat 350 grams to 450 grams of starchy food every day. 4, to ensure the supply of vitamins. Vitamin C is directly involved in liver metabolism and promotes liver glycogen formation. Increasing the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the resistance of liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration. The concentration of vitamin C in ascites is equal to that in blood, so a large amount of vitamins should be supplemented in ascites. 5, the right amount of fat energy. Liver ascites patients mostly have symptoms such as anorexia and loss of appetite, usually, there is no problem of excessive fat intake. It should be noted that the patient should not be allowed to eat by taste, and a certain amount of fat intake should be guaranteed to ensure the energy required for physical activities. 6, dietary diversity Due to cirrhosis patients’ appetite and digestive ability are poor, therefore, the diet should be as diverse as possible, and should be fresh, flavorful, in order to stimulate appetite, improve digestion. Be cautious of certain spicy food (including onion, garlic, etc.), raw and hard food and vegetables containing more plant fiber should also be used with caution, because there is stimulation or too much dregs of food can cause varicose esophageal vein rupture, bleeding. 7, eat more zinc, magnesium-rich food patients with cirrhosis generally have lower blood zinc levels, increased urinary zinc excretion, the amount of zinc in the liver cells is also reduced, strictly prohibit the consumption of alcohol, appropriate consumption of lean pork, beef, eggs, fish and other foods containing more zinc. In order to prevent the lack of magnesium ions, such as more consumption of green leafy vegetables, peas, dairy products and cereals and other foods. 8, limit the intake of water and sodium Limiting the intake of water and sodium is an important measure in the treatment of ascites. For patients with a large amount of ascites and less urine, the total daily water intake, including infusion, to no more than 1500 nd is appropriate, should eat a salt-free diet, to be better, ascites reduction, urine increased can eat a low-salt diet, daily 2-3g sodium salt.
