Abstract
Cirrhosis often leads to various complications during its progression, with ascites being one of the most common. Among these cases, 5% to 10% are classified as refractory ascites. In recent years, clinical research on the treatment of cirrhotic ascites has yielded increasingly enriched results. In this paper, a large number of clinical data on the treatment of ascites using albumin combined with diuretics were collected, and it was found that there were more results in group control studies. It was believed that albumin combined with diuretic therapy could effectively improve symptoms, reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, ensure the safety of patients, and have a good clinical application prospect. This paper reviews the efficacy of albumin combined with diuretics in the treatment of ascites in cirrhosis.
