摘要
Patients with cirrhosis have a 50% to 60% chance of developing ascites within 10 years of diagnosis. Once ascites has developed, patients have a predicted 50% mortality within 3 years. This article discusses the pathophysiology of ascites caused by cirrhosis, standards in diagnosing ascites, and the recommendations and guidelines for treating ascites. Properly managing patients with decompensated cirrhosis can improve their quality of life and longevity and minimize additional complications.
