Abstract:
Objective To explore curative effect of intraperitoneal chemotherapy to treat patients with tension ascites caused by advanced stage of liver cancer. Methods 61 patients with tension ascites caused by advanced stage of liver cancer were divided randomly into three groups, patients in group A (n=26) were treated by ultrafiltration ascites and peritoneal reinfusion (A-P) combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy; patients in B group (n=18) were treated by paracentesis and intravenous albumin infusion combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy; patients in group C (n=17) were treated by paracentesis and intravenous albumin infusion. Clinical situation, biochemical alteration, sodium metabolism and RAAS metabolism were observed before and after treatment.Results The findings revealed that definite clinical amelioration in all patients. Patients in three groups, biochemical examinations were improved during 24h after treatment, including of endogenous creatinine clearance rate and urine sodium output. But in group B and C, the biochemical examinations returned to the former levels and the levels of serum albumin was markedly reduced during 72h after treatment. The short-term effective rate on postoperative ascites in group A, B, C were 57.7%, 44.4% and 11.9% respectively.Conclusion A-P associated with intraperitoneal chemotherapy is an effective and safe therapy for patients with tension ascites caused by advanced stage of liver cancer.
