Early symptoms of ascites?

summary

Ascites refers to the excessive accumulation of free fluid in the abdominal cavity, which is a sign rather than a disease. Ascites is defined as ascites when the volume of peritoneal fluid exceeds 200ml in any pathological state. There are many causes of ascites, such as cardiovascular disease, liver disease, peritoneal disease, kidney disease, nutritional disorders, peritoneal metastasis of malignant tumor, ovarian tumor, connective tissue disease and so on. In addition to imaging examination, the quantitative diagnosis of ascites is mainly based on abdominal percussion: when ascites reaches 500ml, it can be confirmed by elbow and knee percussion; Ascites of more than 1000 ml can cause mobile voiced sound. When there is a large amount of ascites, the flank of both sides bulges, such as frog's abdomen; A small amount of ascites can only be detected by ultrasonography. Let's talk about the early symptoms of abdominal water

1. Liver disease, cirrhosis, fulminant liver failure, primary liver cancer. Peritoneal malignant tumor: primary: mesothelioma, secondary: peritoneal metastasis. Ascites in patients with chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and hemodialysis.

2. Cardiovascular disease, chronic congestive right heart failure, pericarditis (exudative, constrictive), myocardial disease (congestive, restrictive), tuberculosis type Keshan disease, Budd Chiari syndrome [hepatic vein and / or inferior vena cava obstruction], hepatic veno occlusive disease, portal vein obstruction (cavernous degeneration of portal vein, portal vein thrombosis, portal vein external pressure obstruction)

3. Tuberculous peritonitis, Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome (liver capsule inflammatory reaction disease secondary to pelvic infection), Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis infection with perihepatic cellulosic exudation, and infectious peritonitis in HIV infected patients.

matters needing attention

Limit the intake of fat: because the digestion of fat depends on the bile secreted by the liver to help, the decomposition and utilization of fat after intake are mainly carried out in the liver. Therefore, excessive fat intake will not only increase the burden on the liver, but also cause liver fat infiltration and aggravate liver damage due to the lack of time to decompose the fat entering the liver cells.
