    Abstract
  • Ascites is the most common complication of decompensated liver cirrhosis. Recurrent massive ascites seriously affects the quality of life and prognosis of patients, and therefore, effective control of ascites is an important link in the treatment of liver cirrhosis. Based on the clinical reports in recent years, this article reviews the advances in the integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine diagnosis of cirrhotic ascites, conventional Western medicine treatment such as salt restriction, diuresis, and albumin supplementation, and the application of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, ascites pump, and liver transplantation in the treatment of refractory ascites. In addition, this article introduces the application of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine combining disease and syndrome with staged treatment and external treatment methods with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics, as well as the perspectives of future research including real-world study.
