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.

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).

A 29-year-old black woman had increasing abdominal girth, dullness to percussion, and an irregular mass in the left adnexal region. At laparotomy, 6 L of dark brown fluid was removed, and the abdominal cavity had the appearance of extensive carcinomatosis. Subsequent histology was consistent with endometriosis. Fourteen cases of endometriosis producing

The development of ascites indicates a pathological imbalance between the production and resorption of intraperitoneal fluid. The appearance and composition of ascites are variable, based on the underlying pathophysiology. Most commonly, ascites develops in the setting of decompensated cirrhosis, peritoneal infection, carcinomatosis, congestive heart ...

Ascites is the most common decompensating event in patients with cirrhosis and one that is associated with the highest mortality. The main mechanisms in the development of ascites are portal (sinusoidal) hypertension and sodium retention due to vasodilatation and activation of neurohumoral sodium-retaining systems.

Ascites is usually not difficult to detect with ultrasonography because of its characteristic lack of echoes. However, minimal or lobulated collections of fluid or unusual distributions due to anatomical variations or associated pathological processes may create problems in diagnosis.

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

Abstract. Endometriosis associated with ascites is a rare entity. Since 1954 only 12 cases have been reported. We report here another case, seen at Songklanagarind Hospital. Clinical course, line of investigation and operative findings are described, and the management is presented. The point of diagnosis, appropriate management and possible etiologic

Avian Pathology, 1993
Research on ascites occurring in meat-type chickens reared at moderate and low altitude has shown that the pathogenesis is similar to that of the high altitude disease. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by increased blood flow or increased resistance to flow in the lung results in right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), valvular insufficiency, increased ...
