Hello my father is diagnosed with CLD and on top of it he has lung cancer also. Recently the fluid in abdomin named ascites is accumulating very rapidly. We already have used the needle process twice and accumulated 10 ltr first and 8 ltr second time. The second time we drained the fluid he went into disoriented mode because of dehydration. He was in ICU and then went back to normal in a day. The doctor have increased lacix tablet to 1.5 but yet in 9 days he looks like 6 month pregnant. Liver translplant is a no no because of his age and he also have a lung cancer.
