2. Patients should measure their abdominal circumference regularly every day. The patient lay on his back and read with a tape measure around the navel. If the urine increased, abdominal circumference gradually reduced, suggesting that ascites is subsided, otherwise, if the urine increase is not obvious, suggesting that treatment measures need to be strengthened. However, abdominal circumference is easily affected by intestinal flatulence, so patients can also weigh their weight regularly every day, which has the same meaning as abdominal circumference, but it is more accurate.   

Third, the patient should measure the daily urine volume. If diuresis is effective, the daily urine volume should be more than 1500 ml. if the urine volume is too small, it is necessary to strengthen diuresis. If the daily urine volume is more than 2000 ml, the doctor should be informed to reduce the dosage of diuretic appropriately. It is worth noting that temperature affects the amount of urine excreted. High temperature weather in summer, patients excrete more water through sweat, urine volume can be reduced accordingly.
