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

A 74-year-old man presented with mental obtundation and massive ascites without evidence of significant impairment of liver function. Thyroid function studies suggested hypothyroidism. Aspirated ascitic fluid had the characteristics of an exudate. Thyroid replacement therapy resulted in rapid clinical improvement with resolution of the ascites.

The first step in the approach to the ascites patient, after the history and physical examination, is to perform a diagnostic abdominal paracentesis for SAAG to determine whether portal hypertension is present (SAAG 1.1 g/dl or higher) or not (SAAG less than 1.1 gm/dl) (Table 1).

Currently, Chlamydia is a major cause of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can be complicated by perihepatitis. Our patient presented with ascites secondary to Chlamydia infection and responded well to treatment with tetracycline. Since Chlamydia infection is becoming more prevalent in the United States, it should be considered in the ...
