  • Ascites is an important indicator of poor prognosis of liver cirrhosis. Although several guidelines and consensus statements on the management of ascites have been published in the past years, there are still a lot of controversial problems in this regard. The current controversial problems and difficulties in the management of ascites, such as the timing of sodium supplementation or sodium restriction, the selection of diuretics, the application value of aquaretics, the strategy of albumin administration after large- volume paracentesis, and the indications and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, are reviewed. It is pointed out that further studies on these problems with evidence- based medicine means will enhance the diagnosis and treatment of cirrhotic ascites and improve patients' prognosis.
