Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Infrared ray heat treatment in hepatic area in cirrhosis patients with refractory ascites. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the ascites pressure, portal vein velocity，SAAG before and after the treatment. Clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.
Interventions
RADIATIONInfrared ray heat treatment
Patients in experimental group accepted Infrared ray heat treatment in hepatic area for 30 minutes as well as conventional therapy.
OTHERconventional treatment
Conventional treatment consists of antiviral drugs, lowering aminotransferase and jaundice medicine.
