First, portal hypertension: portal hypertension is the main cause of ascites in liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis is often accompanied by portal hypertension. Under the action of some vasoactive media, it can increase the pressure of small intestinal capillaries and lymphatic reflux, decrease the osmotic pressure of plasma colloid, reduce the resorption of tissue fluid, and then form ascites. 　　

Second, hypoproteinemia: liver function damage is more serious in cirrhosis, digestion and absorption function is weak, liver albumin synthesis function is also relatively reduced, coupled with poor appetite, so it can be accompanied by varying degrees of malnutrition and hypoproteinemia, which will reduce the plasma colloid osmotic pressure, blood components and tissue fluid extravasation, and then form ascites. 　　

Third, renal drainage dysfunction: liver cirrhosis in normal function is severely damaged, metabolic function is relatively weak, which is more likely to cause aldosterone inactivation, resulting in increased aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone, so that the renal dysfunction investigation found that about 75% of the liver hardened ascites patients with renal dysfunction, resulting in * retention of water and sodium, and then form ascites.
