Hepatic ascites is a serious complication of liver disease that usually occurs in people with cirrhosis or advanced liver disease. The deterioration of hepatic ascites may be life-threatening, so it is important to detect and respond to the signs of hepatic ascites deterioration in a timely manner.
1. Abdominal distension increases
Abdominal distension is a clear sign of worsening hepatic ascites. As liver disease progresses, the effusion in the abdomen gradually increases, causing the abdomen to swell.
If the patient's abdominal distension worsens for a short period of time, or if unbearable pain occurs, it may be a sign of worsening hepatic ascites.
2. Exposure of blood vessels in the abdomen
After hepatic ascites worsens, there may be significant vascular exposure in the abdomen. Vascular exposure may be due to factors such as deterioration of liver function, portal hypertension, etc.
3. Fatigue and fatigue increase
Fatigue and fatigue are common symptoms in patients with hepatic ascites. If the patient's symptoms of fatigue and fatigue worsen over a short period of time, or if there is a marked decrease in physical strength, it may be a sign of worsening hepatic ascites.
4. Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite is also a clear sign of worsening hepatic ascites. As liver disease progresses, the patient's liver function is gradually impaired, affecting the normal function of the digestive system and leading to loss of appetite.
5. Decreased urine output
After hepatic ascites worsens, the patient's kidneys may be affected, resulting in a decrease in urine output. If the patient has a marked decrease in urine output, or if there is significant edema, it may be a sign of worsening hepatic ascites.
