Hello,
With the question “Can cirrhosis and ascites with effusion when draining fluid recur? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Cirrhosis ascites is a condition in which fluid has appeared in the abdomen. Usually, this is decompensated cirrhosis. In the case of a large amount of intra-abdominal fluid affecting the patient's respiratory status, aspiration decompression is indicated. However, this is a temporary treatment, the patient needs adequate active treatment to control the patient's progress well.
Currently, the treatment of cirrhosis, especially decompensated cirrhosis, has made much progress, but it is still a complicated and difficult chronic disease to treat. Treatment includes medical treatment (screening for causative factors: viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, ...) to support liver function and surgical intervention when there are complications (bleeding, liver failure). , hepatic coma, ...).
If you still have questions about cirrhosis and ascites with effusion when draining fluid, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
