Ascitic pseudouridine discriminates between hepatocarcinoma-derived ascites and cirrhotic ascites [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1996 Abstract Various biochemical indexes discriminate neoplastic from nonneoplastic ascites. However, within the latter group, the distinction between cirrhotic ascites and ascites caused by hepatocarcinoma (HC) is usually based on liver biopsy or cytology.

Ascites, refractory ascites and hyponatremia in cirrhosis [PDF]
Gastroenterology Report, 2017 Ascites is the most common complication related to cirrhosis and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Ascites is a consequence of the loss of compensatory mechanisms to maintain the overall effective arterial blood volume due to worsening splanchnic arterial vasodilation as a result of clinically significant portal hypertension.

Ascitic Fluid Analysis in the Differential Diagnosis of Ascites: Focus on Cirrhotic Ascites [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology, 2014 Ascites is the pathologic accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity. Because many diseases can cause ascites, in particular cirrhosis, samples of ascitic fluid are commonly analyzed in order to develop a differential diagnosis. The concept of transudate versus exudate, as determined by total protein measurements, is outdated and the use of ...

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2018 Ascites is the most common cause of decompensation in cirrhosis, and 5% to 10% of patients with compensated cirrhosis develop ascites each year. The main factor of ascites formation is renal sodium retention due to activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system by the reduced effective volume secondary to ...

CureusPatients presenting with ascites should be properly evaluated to differentiate potential etiologies. Then, based on the evaluation, we can tailor more accurate treatment plans for patients. Cirrhosis is the most common cause, and others include cancer, heart failure, and, in our case, rarely a visceral artery rupture.

Characteristics of ascitic fluid in cardiac ascites
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 Cardiac ascites remains a rare entity with unique clinical and pathogenetic features that are not adequately recognized by clinicians. The purpose of this study was to contribute towards elucidating the nature of cardiac ascites.We describe a series of 26 ascitic fluid samples from eight patients with cardiac ascites that were referred and further ...
