A member asked:

Hepc with cirohsis, ultrasound says no fluid seen, sometimes have very little swelling on ankle n foot, but sometimes no swelling, what does it indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No ascites.: Apparently you have cirrhosis, but pressures in your liver are not high enough to cause a back up of fluid in your abdomen or of a significant degree in your lower extremeties. That is a good sign.
