Diet therapy plays an important role in the treatment of liver diseases as a component for faster recovery of the liver and restoration of its normal function. This study was carried out to reduce ascites and paracentesis frequency needs by improving nutritional status. The ascitic patients were chosen from Gastroenterology Center in Babylon governorate that admitted for paracentesis (convenient sample). A diet regimen was given to the participants. The effect of this regimen on frequency of paracentesis, drained fluids’ amount, liver enzymes, Total Serum Bilirubin, Blood Urea Nitrogen, Serum Albumin, and Prothrombin Time was tested by student’s T test. There was a significant reduction in paracentesis frequency, Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase, Total Serum Bilirubin, and Plasma Albumin (p = 0.03, p = 0.03, p = 0.04, and 0.03 respectively). In conclusion, diet regimen showed a positive change on improving cirrhotic liver patients.
