Ascites is a common complication of liver cirrhosis. Liver ascites may occur repeatedly,which increases the therapeutic difficulty. This paper reviews the definition of intractable liver ascites,general treatment measures,and current treatment of common complications such as spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatorenal syndrome,as well as the advances in conventional,unconventional,and surgical treatment of intractable liver ascites. It is pointed out that abdominocentesis for excessive drainage and active preparation for liver transplantation are the preferred approach to the treatment of intractable liver ascites.
