How Often Can Paracentesis Be Done?
how often can one get paracentesis done before it becomes dangerous to due it anymore? my husband has cirrhosis and has been getting it done monthly since January. He had his 1st one in April 2013 then he didn t need another one till Nov. 2014 they went in his back and only took of 50cc since (wrong procedure done we think) since then he has had to get one every month. filling up quicker they took 19 lbs off. wondering when they wont be able to do them anymore or is this a sign its getting worse?

Hi,
It's due to liver or infection or protein - albumin causes leads to accumulations of fluid, consult hepatologist for this (avoid any recreational drugs and alcohol etc.) take more antioxidants like amla, aloe vera, basil and fresh fruits, juices etc.)
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
