Mr. Zhang, a 42-year-old native of Dongying, Shandong, has decompensated liver cirrhosis, and his body is emaciated, but his belly is very large, and the ascites in it is very abrupt. It is understood that the patient has been in the local area for more than 1 year, and the ascites has never completely subsided, and has been co-infected. Hepatic ascites like him has been going back and forth for more than a year, and it is definitely not enough to simply pump ascites, and it will rise as much as you suck, and you need to be hospitalized for a period of time. The albumin index on the liver function test list is currently only 24, and it is not enough to beat human blood albumin, and the best means of combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine must be used. On this basis, the traditional Chinese medicine of blood circulation and blood stasis, soft and hard dispersion is used to reduce the blood and reduce the fiber of the liver, so as to help the patient relieve the pain as soon as possible, eliminate the ascites as soon as possible, and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
Cirrhosis is a common chronic liver disease that often results in a decrease in "albumin". This is because cirrhosis leads to the destruction and weakening of the function of liver cells, which affects albumin synthesis and secretion. People with cirrhosis may also have low albumin due to problems such as portal hypertension and ascites effusion. In addition, patients with cirrhosis may also experience a decrease in albumin due to malnutrition, intestinal malabsorption, and other problems.
The most dangerous thing for patients with cirrhosis to have a decrease in albumin is to be alert to the appearance of "hepatic ascites", because cirrhosis ascites is a serious disease that will not only affect the patient's physical health, but also affect their quality of life. The harms of ascites in cirrhosis include:
1.Causes bloating and abdominal pain: Cirrhosis ascites can cause distension and pain in the abdomen, which can make the patient feel very uncomfortable.
2. Reduce quality of life: patients with liver cirrhosis should pay attention to avoid high-calorie and high-fat foods in their diet. Try to keep your diet light. Because once a large amount of salt, fat, sugar, protein and other foods are consumed, a large amount of water will be lost in the body, which will induce liver cirrhosis and complications. Once ascites occurs in patients with cirrhosis, the patient's condition will become more serious, causing great pain to the patient, and it will seriously affect the patient's quality of life: this complication, which is very dangerous, can also lead to the death of the patient, and affects the normal life of the patient.
3. Gastrointestinal diseases: patients with hepatic ascites are prone to digestive tract diseases due to more blood loss and reduced gastric juice and bile secretion. Gastrointestinal disorders that occur during the ascites phase can often lead to serious consequences. Vasospasm, dilation, bleeding, and edema of the intestinal wall. Its ** blood is the most common manifestation. Patients often develop hematochezia or even hemorrhagic shock 1 to 2 hours after eating, and even die. In severe cases, hematemesis, melena, and massive blood discharge may be present, accompanied by abdominal pain and melena. Severe abdominal cramps can lead to death by asphyxia and should be taken seriously.
The harm of ascites in cirrhosis should not be underestimated, and we should pay attention to prevention and **. Only by maintaining a healthy lifestyle can we stay away from the problem of cirrhosis and ascites.
