Loss of Appetite

Ascites is a condition that develops as a result of other diseases, such as heart failure, cirrhosis, kidney failure and cancer. It's not a disease but a sign of one of these underlying problems.

The pain that accompanies ascites can sometimes affect appetite. The more severe the pain, the less likely someone is going to want to eat. The swelling of the abdomen due to a buildup of fluid also creates a feeling of being full.
