Hi dear thanks for asking question.

Noted you have final stage of hepatitis.

According to history she has fluid accumulation in peritoneal cavity that is ascites which is complicated by chronic liver disease , might be cirrhosis.

For ascites low salt diet taken with diuretic.

If it is not working and massive ascites is present then by inserting needle excess fluid removed ...

You have mentioned stent placed that is to reduce portal hypertension.

Take care regarding taking low fat diet.

More fruits and green leafy vegetables.

Avoid smoking and alcohol if habit.
