Summary
Ascites is a frequent complication of liver cirrhosis, initial treatment consists on diuretics intake, however, as the disease progresses this complication becomes more severe, consequently other therapeutic options are used. Paracentesis is indicated when severe ascites is present and it should be accompanied by albumin infusion. Nutritional status is generally affected in patients with liver cirrhosis, even more patients with severe ascites show decreased energy intake due to gastric compression.
