Ascites is the most common presentation of decompensated cirrhosis, and its development heralds a poor prognosis, with a 50% 2-year survival rate. Effective first-line therapy for ascites includes sodium restriction (2 g/d), use of diuretics, and large-volume paracentesis (LVP).

This article reviews the progress made during the last century in understanding and managing ascites. The list of known causes of ascites has lengthened considerably. There is improved understanding of the mechanism of ascites formation and the pathophysiology of the renal sodium retention that accompanies portal hypertensive ascites.

Two patients with pancreatic ascites secondary to acute pancreatitis are presented. Successful drainage was carried out in one patient with distal pancreatectomy and Roux-en-Y pancreaticojejunostomy and in the other by cystoduodenostomy. Most cases of pancreatic ascites are due to a mild peritoneal reaction casued by inactivated pancreatic enzymes ...

Ascites is the pathologic accumulation of fluid in the peritoneum. It is the most common complication of cirrhosis, with a prevalence of approximately 10%. Over a 10-year period, 50% of patients with previously compensated cirrhosis are expected to develop ascites. As a marker of hepatic decompensation, ascites is associated with a poor prognosis, with

Ascites and Refractory Ascites
2015Ascites is a common complication of cirrhosis resulting in poor quality of life, high risk of development of other complications of cirrhosis and increased morbidity and mortality. About half of patients with previously compensated cirrhosis are expected to develop ascites within 10 years of diagnosis.

In summary, the diagnosis of ascites should be considered in all patients presenting with abdominal distention. A careful history and physical examination should be performed to rule out conditions that mimic ascites. Ultrasonography should be performed in questionable cases of ascites since physical examination and radiographic signs of ascites are ...

The evaluation of ascites includes a directed history, focused physical examination, and diagnostic paracentesis with ascitic fluid analysis. Dietary sodium restriction and oral diuretics are the mainstay of therapy for the majority of patients with cirrhotic ascites. Transjugular intrahepatic portocaval shunt has emerged as the treatment of choice for

Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis and occurs in more than half of all patients with cirrhosis. The development of ascites indicates progression of the underlying cirrhosis and is associated with a 50% 2-year survival rate. Conventional therapies used for the treatment of ascites include sodium restriction (5 L).
