[|Human|] My father has been diagnosed with advanced cirrhosis of the liver from drinking too much. He just got out of the hospital today and is in rehab to build up strength and mobility before we send him to a rehab facility for quitting drinking. I was wondering a couple of things. First is that he had fluid drained from his abdomen twice while in the hospital. First time they got 4 liters and second time (yesterday) they got 6 liters...will this keep happening? What is causing it and might it get better? I worry because it is building up so quickly. I also was wondering what foods are good for him to eat now and what foods should he avoid? I have read meat isnt good...is this true? Are nuts okay? Sorry for all the questions. I am very worried about him.
[|AI|]  Hide to cirrhosis, your father developed portal hypertension. So, fluid will be accumulating in the abdomen. Even though, you remove it the fluid gets reaccumulated. It is natural for the disease. It may become better with shunt operations. But, he has to be fit for that major surgery. He should restrict salt, oily foods. Green leafy vegetables to be taken. Avoid red meat. He can take nuts. Alchohol should be stopped completely. Hope I answered your queriesRegards
