Ascites management
I've had abdominal
paracentesis
4 times. Ive returned to 3 different hospitals requesting the same procedure only to tell me to continue my diuertics, its too risky. My weight is slowly coming down, especially since Ive really restricted my sodium intake.

Hi Taar
Had several smaller
paracentesis
procedures, but eventually Spironolactone and Furosemide meds helped. Hope this helps you and others.

His most recent issues have been with ascites and having to have
paracentesis
every 4 - 6 weeks. Docs can't understand why? He also has a stent in is biliary duct and one in a pseudo cyst. Last week after his paracentisis he developed an internal hematoma the size of an orange.

Ascites / Paracentesis
He has a
paracentesis
scheduled on Thursday. For those of you who have gone through this, what can he expect afterwards? Will he be able to eat more? I’m sure he shouldn’t over do it but will his appetite increase. Will this help with his fatigue and breathing (he does not nor ever has smoked)?

Ascites and paracentesis
Our main worry is that the doctor wants to take out the tube befor leaving, what in our opinion might affect her condition due to ascites accumulation (it accumulates now very fast) and to our understanding, another
paracentesis
might be done only after a few weeks.

He is scheduled for
paracentesis
next week, has been prescribed a second diuretic to help with the ascites and a medication to remove ammonia from the blood to help with HE. He has no varices. He’s had several blood tests from Aug -Oct and each time his liver functions are improving.

Is the end in sight?
After 2
paracentesis
procedures, 10 liters of bloody fluid was removed. A tube was inserted so I can drain fluid at home. I am anemic, weak and after a few steps, I lose my breath and get dizzy. BP 98/62.

Can Methylprednisolone affect Ascites?
I am due to go in for a
paracentesis
this Friday and am certain they will get way more than last time. Is it possibly that: 1 . The steroid actually helped my Ascites while taking it? 2. That coming off of even a low dose has left my body in a worse position than before?

Messed up on my diet. Ascites
Have had a number of
paracentesis
procedures now every two weeks. Weight has gone down from 335 to 235 and I had been following my diet and sodium restriction to the letter. I feel great. my fluid draws have been decreasing in volume every two weeks.

Paracentesis Tomorrow
Jimmy is having his first
paracentesis
tomorrow morning. Please keep us in your prayers that it goes smoothly, not too hard on him and that no bad results from tests afterwards. I was happy with his blood work today.

Lactulose... Ugh! Please help
Within a few days after a
Paracentesis
I am already bloated with fluid and can't eat anything. I drink ensure shakes a lot. About every week and half I will drain almost 9 litres. Like I said in previous post, I look like a very pregnant Skeletor. I went from very healthy 140 lbs to 110 now.

Managing ascites: current and future treatment options. A webinar with Professor Roshan Agarwal, 6-7pm tonight
How can this treatment be improved with day case
paracentesis
? What is the national implementation gap? What can we do to close the gap? Thank you to all the forum users who completed Professor Agarwal's
paracentesis
survey, posted here a few weeks ago.

Paracentesis. Is this the beginning of the end?
Can
paracentesis
be carried out long term? He lives by himself now so I can’t see him doing the procedure himself at home.

Any Rotterdam regime advice please
I’m in hospital for
paracentesis
today ( it’s 3.20am my mind will not shut off ) I’m not looking forward to it but I know I will feel better when it’s done. I darn well refuse to give in to this crappy disease.
