Ascites is a descriptive term for the collection of fluid inside the abdomen spaces. Ascites can cause breathing difficulty if the fluid accumulated is pressing against the diaphragm not allowing the lungs to expand. This can occur suddenly without specific predisposition factors. The treatment for ascites includes reducing the salt intake. Salt has a property that allows the body to store fluids rather than excreting the excess. Hence a low-sodium diet is often prescribed for Ascites. Another electrolyte that can cause complications is potassium. Therefore taking a diet that is simple to digest is necessary. In chronic alcoholics the regulation of toxicity of alcohol is done by the liver and kidneys. As their function gets impaired, complete cut down of the alcohol is recommended. Unlike other conditions, fluid consumption should actually be limited in Ascites. Prescription diuretics are given to help the body pass off the excess liquid as urine.
