    You should visit your GP to go onto Dieuretics. If those don't work then you should have to attend your Local hospital for a procedure called Paracentesis. This is a drain placed in your abdomen to drain off the Ascetic fluid. Your GP may have to refer you to a Consultant for Secondary Care for your Liver Disease with this.
