summary

My uncle suffered from ascites due to liver cirrhosis. Recently, he went to the hospital for examination and treatment. Patients with ascites due to liver cirrhosis should receive treatment as soon as possible to avoid causing more serious harm to the body. Now I will tell you about the symptoms of ascites due to liver cirrhosis before death.

Pre death symptoms of cirrhotic ascites

Symptom 1: massive hemorrhage of digestive tract may occur before death in the late stage of liver cirrhosis. In the late stage of liver cirrhosis, massive hemorrhage of upper digestive tract is often induced by decreased function of hepatic synthetic coagulation factors, thrombocytopenia and increased fragility of capillaries caused by hypersplenism.

Symptom 2: severe pain in the liver region in the late stage of liver cirrhosis is mostly related to factors such as long-term damage and infiltration of liver tissue by tumor, local ischemia and necrosis of liver tissue, and most of them are continuously aggravated. Those with extremely weak system may be unable to bear the pain and appear fainting and shock.

Symptom 3: liver coma is mainly based on metabolic disorder, with disturbance of consciousness and coma as the main clinical manifestations. The common causes include high protein diet, large amount of diuresis or ascites, massive hemorrhage of upper digestive tract, azotemia, sedative hypnotics, infection and hypoxia.
