Hello, hepatic ascites can be cured in some cases. Whether hepatic ascites can be cured primarily depends on the underlying disease and the volume of ascitic fluid. For instance, a small amount of ascites caused by an acute hepatitis flare-up may gradually resolve as liver function recovers, and most such cases can be successfully treated. However, severe hepatic ascites resulting from cirrhosis is much more difficult to cure. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
