A 68 year-old female with decompensated alcoholic liver cirrhosis and refractory ascites, initially presented to the Clinic in June 2020. She was an alcoholic for 40 years and quit just a few years ago. Cirrhosis was diagnosed in 2011, and fluid began building in her abdomen approximately 4 years ago. Physical examination revealed a blood pressure of 110/64 mm/Hg, temperature of 97.7°F, and pulse of 68. Bilateral edema was present on both legs (+3) and there was a notable absence of peripheral pulses - dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial. Auscultation revealed clear respiration in posterior fields, with no wheezing, rhonchi, or accessory muscle use upon respiration. Chest X-ray was unremarkable. Patient's abdomen showed severe ascites. Bowel sounds were present in all 4 quadrants. Her abdomen was dull to percussion. Hepatomegaly was present, and the right-upper quadrant was tender to palpation. The patient reported poor dietary habits. She usually had 2 meals per day, with large gaps in between. Her diet was characterized by poor nutritional variation and occasional wine consumption. KM's medication list included furosemide 20 mg/day, along with the spironolactone 50 mg/day, to control her ascites. Dietary corrections were discussed and implemented. Select the correct statements with regards to this case study: (Select ALL that apply) a. cirrhosis is the etiology b. alcoholism is the etiology c. cirrhosis is the diagnosis
