hi welcome to healthcaremagic
he might be having metastasis, send the ascitic fluid sample for complete pathalogical examination. may be his serum electrolytes are high(serum potassium) and his KFT is bad ,better to avoid diets rich in potassium like fruit juices, coconut water etc........ Carrot juice, butter milk and melon are useful. tapping should be done when exesfluid accumulated. if u can come to hyderabad visit AIG(asian institute of gastroenterology) once .
