Which of the following is the best treatment available for ascites
Treatment of transudative ascites is based on restricting sodium and water intake, promoting urine output with diuretics such as furosemide(160mg) or spironolactone(400mg), and if necessary removing ascites directly by paracentesis. In case of Exudative ascites due to malignancy, paracentesis is done. Fluid replacement is usually not done. Reference : Davidson, 23rd Edition, page no : 862.
