First, the discharge of ascites can quickly relieve the pressure in the abdomen, relieve the compression symptoms of heart, lung, kidney and gastrointestinal tract, and relieve the pain of patients. But this relief is only temporary, ascites will grow rapidly in a short time, repeated discharge of ascites will lead to a large number of body fluid and protein loss, water electrolyte disorder, orthostatic hypotension, induce liver coma and other serious consequences, therefore, if there is a better method, discharge of ascites can not be the preferred method.

Second: reinfusion of ascites If the ascites is uninfected and no cancer cells are found, it can be reinfused into the patient's body, which can not only relieve the patient's pain, but also prevent the loss of body fluid and protein, electrolyte disorder and liver coma caused by the massive discharge of ascites. It can also be reinfused after dialysis or ultrafiltration concentration, which can not only retain the body protein, but also improve the plasma osmotic pressure It can also increase the effective circulating blood volume and glomerular filtration rate.

Third: intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the appropriate discharge of ascites, intraperitoneal injection of human anti-tumor drugs can reduce the formation of ascites, so that the liver and intraperitoneal drugs maintain a high level, and the toxicity is much smaller than the systemic use of the same drugs.
