The symptoms of hepatic ascites are usually abdominal distension, enlarged abdominal circumference, edema of both lower limbs, jaundice and so on. The abdomen gradually increases and the urine volume decreases. Usually, it is found during ultrasonic examination. Sometimes the symptoms of self-awareness are not obvious, and patients will think that they have gained weight. Clinically, the treatment of hepatic ascites is relatively the lightest complication of liver cirrhosis, and it is relatively simple to treat. Usually, albumin transfusion, correction of hypoproteinemia and diuretics can be easily cured.
If there is hepatic ascites, it will be very serious. The formation of hepatic ascites will slow down the blood flow in the body. It is also easy to cause hypotension or shock. And there will be hepatocyte necrosis. If there is a large amount of fluid in the abdominal cavity, the abdominal pressure will increase, which will cause abdominal distension and constipation. The later stage is also very conducive to the growth of bacteria. It can also cause secondary infection. Therefore, we must pay attention to the above symptoms. For your own health, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Next, I will share with you the dietary taboos that patients with hepatic ascites must know:
1, supply enough carbohydrates. Adequate carbohydrates can reduce the consumption of protein and reduce the burden on the liver; Carbohydrate can maintain the glycogen content in liver cells, and can be used for the formation and proliferation of liver tissue and protect the liver. In order to prevent the damage of toxins to liver cells, you can eat 350 -450 grams of starch food every day.
2. Patients with hepatic ascites should ensure the supply of vitamins. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Vitamin C directly participates in liver metabolism and promotes the formation of hepatic glycogen. Increasing the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the resistance of hepatocytes and promote the regeneration of hepatocytes. However, patients with obvious varicose veins in the upper digestive tract should avoid eating fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber and difficult to chew, so as not to scratch varicose veins and cause bleeding.
3. Don't eat too much salt and water. The daily water intake of patients with ascites should be limited to 1000 ml, and the sodium salt should be limited to 0.5- 1.0 g per day.
4. Don't eat spicy food or drink alcohol. Patients with hepatic ascites must keep their mouths shut. Patients with liver cirrhosis should be forbidden to drink alcohol. Excessive drinking will increase the burden on the liver, which will lead to the aggravation of the disease. If you drink alcohol for a long time, it will also lead to abnormal liver function, which will lead to different symptoms in the liver. Patients with liver cirrhosis should pay attention to rest and develop good living habits. Usually pay attention to avoid staying up late and supplement nutrition reasonably.
