Cirrhosis is usually below 25 g/L causing severe edema that may be life-threatening. Albumin is synthesized by liver cells and when cirrhosis affects the liver’s synthesis function resulting in lower albumin. The normal range of albumin is 35 to 55 g/L. If hypoproteinemia occurs with albumin less than 25 g/L, the osmotic pressure of the plasma colloid decreases, and fluid in the capillaries leaks into the abdominal cavity, potentially causing severe edema. The colloid depth of plasma decreases, and blood volume leaks into the interstitial space of the tissues, leading to a decrease in effective blood flow, which may cause hemodynamic disorders, and in severe cases, patients may also experience a drop in blood pressure and shock, which may jeopardize the patient’s life. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the decrease of albumin, and you can appropriately apply some diuretic drugs, such as spironolactone, furosemide, etc., to improve the effect of diuretic action, and jointly apply albumin infusion, so as to avoid low albumin, which will have an impact on the patient’s life. Cirrhosis patients are advised to consult a doctor in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment and medication, and not to take medication on their own.
