NAFLD and Water retention

@jpsmed‍ I responded to your other question. As far as getting it removed? Do you mean the fluid build up? I am not sure about surgical options, but try to monitor it with limiting salt, diuretics and speak to your doctor.

Is it causing you abdominal pain?

I get swelling in my abdomen . I currently take two differnet types of Lasik. One helps remove fluid while protecting my potassium level. I recently had an ultrasound of the abdomen. I was told that it would be important to find out what is causing the fluid build-up . One cause can be liver issues. No significant fluid was found but will be rechecked in 6 months. My bigest suggestion would be to find out what is causing the fluid build up . Is it actually fluid buildup or something else.  The doctor would determine if fluid needs to be removed based on the cause. It can be removed by sticking a needle through the abdomen and abstracting .

Thought some of you members may find this discussion topic interesting and may have some advice or experiences that you could share. Hope you do not mind me tagging you.
