China is one of the world's leading countries in liver disease. Whether it is viral hepatitis in the past or fatty liver disease today, these chronic liver diseases will develop into a pathological state characterized by chronic liver inflammation, diffuse fibrosis, pseudolobules, regenerative nodules, etc., namely cirrhosis. When liver cirrhosis develops into the decompensated stage, ascites will appear, which is also the prominent clinical manifestation of most liver diseases progressing to the end stage. Western medicine treatment of cirrhosis ascites is mainly based on symptomatic treatments such as diuresis and abdominal puncture, but these symptomatic treatments have not been able to effectively control its progress. A large number of clinical practices of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of liver cirrhosis ascites have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treating liver cirrhosis ascites, improving the quality of life of patients, and controlling the progress of liver cirrhosis ascites.
