Brief Answer:
Due to hypoproteinemia

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

As mentioned by you the patient has alcoholic liver disease and ascites

Ascites draining causing hypoprotenemia and chronic liver disease in itself causes the debilitating situation

Again ascites compresses all GI organs and leads to loss of appetite

If you could send me the entire liver panel and other reports that you have along with the treatment going on I would be in a better position to help
