Ascites?
Today I took him for a
paracentesis
, they drained 7.7 liters. He feels so much better, yesterday he had more blood work primarily for his liver.

How to stop weight loss?
I've had one major pleural effusion and a
paracentesis
a couple of weeks ago (along with a two night stay in the hospital and liver biopsy). I'm thinking I may need another round of Taxol to knock everything back down. Thank you for any advice, good vibes, and prayers if you're so inclined.

Diuretics or Paracentesis
Now they are saying, its fine he can get
paracentesis
done. Can anyone share their experience if they had severe ascites and diuretics helped it without the need of
paracentesis
with time/dosage it took. Also, does milk instead of water is better?

Ascites Drain and Human Albumin
Docs previously did not recommended
paracentesis
and asked to carry on with diuretics with lower dose. So now we visited again and he recommended taping. He had it drained once only and that was in last February 2.5ltr. His albumin has remained at 3 to 3.1 steady.

Birthday
One year ago my life was very different, having
paracentesis
every 10 days and resisting the advice that I needed a transplant! Not an easy year, and I really have no words❤️🙏💝

How do you feel daily since your diagnosis? Am I normal?
They said I had problems with my liver and needed
paracentesis
, I stayed in the hospital for almost a week. I couldn't find a primary care doctor but was getting drained once a week. I haven't had to be drained since February 11th of 2020. I also haven't been drinking at all since November 2019.

Do you think it is a good idea to let my husband go through
paracentesis
? Also my husband's legs are still edematous. I hope you can help me with your insights. Thanks!

Hypothyroidism Manifesting as a Combination of Ascites and Malnutrition Requiring Total Parenteral Nutrition: A Unique Presentation
Despite appropriate workup, including diagnostic
paracentesis
with fluid analysis and abdominal imaging, the cause of ascites is sometimes unknown.

Scheduled for paracentesis tomorrow. What should I expect?
I am going in for my first
paracentesis
procedure tomorrow. Actually looking forward to it in some ways as it will be nice to have relief from my ascites. Crossing fingers that this will be a first step to keeping the ascites at bay. My doc implies it is easy and no big deal.

Has anyone had liver metastases that resulted in ascites? If so did it resolve on its own or did they treat with diuretics or paracentesis?
I received taxotere and carbo my first round and my LFTs went down significantly but my abdomen seems to be worse and I have a lot of swelling in my legs.. I have my second round tomorrow and only getting taxotere this time.

Curable or not?
I had jaundice and recurrent ascites, and my last
paracentesis
was in December. (The fluid has stayed off.) I had doctors in the US tell me that I have a shortened life expectancy, cannot live alone, etc.

Transplant List in the US.
.,
Paracentesis
every 10 days of 7 -9 liters of fluid, four endoscopy bandings, has lost majority muscle mass in the body. My question is: What are the real chances Jim can get a Liver transplant in the US? Do they look at age? Jim is 67. Family? We have no children.

All I want is to let him die in peace, why do they make it so hard?
posted anonymously by admin notes from caregiver I am going to be taking him to hospital in a little bit to try to get his
paracentesis
done. If anyone has any pull at that hospital, PLEASE try to help us get him drained today. He needs to be comfortable. He is in so much pain.

Paracentesis
is a form of body fluid sampling procedure, generally referring to peritoneocentesis (also called laparocentesis) in which the peritoneal cavity is punctured by a needle to sample/drain peritoneal fluid.

SBP, arrhythmia, tachycardia
I was treated with IV antibiotics, after having a
paracentesis
where about 2liters of fluid was removed. This is my second episode of SBP. First was Dec. 1, 2016. The day following discharge I was at the outpatient center for IV antibiotics (first of 2 doses required after discharge).
