Answer
Hello! With the question: "Why do patients with cirrhosis and ascites feel more tired after aspiration and lose plasma and need protein infusion?" Your doctor would advise you as follows:
Ascites due to cirrhosis of the liver and large ascites will cause difficulty breathing, so the patient needs a partial drainage. Ascites is permeable fluid with high albumin content, so albumin infusion is essential. However, the type of infusion, the speed, the dose... depends on the blood test.
