[|AI|]  His understand your concern. When ascites develop, disease becomes decompensated. Treatment includes symptomatic treatment and some dietary management. Avoid constipation to reduce effects of liver disease in brain. For this syrup lactulose can be used. Avoid protein rich diet. Although albumin decreases with liver failure, but high protein content can cause upper GI bleed. Avoid salt intake to avoid ascites. Certain Chat Doctor.
