ABSTRACT
Background: Refractory ascites is one of the most important complications of cirrhosis & albumin is considered highly
effective in controlling it.
Objective: To compare efficacy of 10g albumin versus 20g albumin in improving refractory ascites in cirrhotic patients.
Methods: This randomized control trial was conducted at department of Gastroenterology, Mayo hospital Lahore for 12
months. After ethical approval, 60 patients of chronic liver disease with refractory ascites were included in the study & were
divided into two groups. Group A was administered with 20g albumin whereas; group B was given 10g albumin. Both groups
were followed for next 3 days by measuring change in weight, abdominal girth and urine output. Data was analyzed by using
SPSS v-21.
Conclusion: Low dose albumin is as effective as full dose albumin for reducing refractory ascites among cirrhotic patients.
