A Rare Hemorrhagic, Orange-Colored Ascites, Challenging Traditional Ascitic Fluid Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2023 Analysis of ascitic fluid can offer useful information in developing and supporting a differential diagnosis. As one of the most prevalent complications in patients with cirrhosis, ascitic fluid aids in differentiating a benign condition from malignancy.

The Diagnostic Role of Tumor and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Ascitic Fluid: A Systematic Review [PDF]
MedicinaBackground and Objectives: Diagnosing the underlying cause of ascites remains complex, especially when cytology results are inconclusive. Measuring biomarkers directly in ascitic fluid may offer better diagnostic insight than serum testing alone.

Population Pharmacokinetics of Temocillin Administered by Continuous Infusion in Patients with Septic Shock Associated with Intra-Abdominal Infection and Ascitic Fluid Effusion [PDF]
Antibiotics, 2022 Temocillin is active against Gram-negative bacteria, including many extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales. We studied its pharmacokinetics in plasma and ascitic fluid after intravenous administration of a loading dose of 2 g ...

An evaluation of ascitic calprotectin for diagnosis of ascitic fluid infection in children with cirrhosis [PDF]
BMC Pediatrics, 2022 Background The most common infection in children with the hepatic disease with or without cirrhotic ascites is spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP), which occurs in the absence of an evident intra-abdominal source of infection.

Utility of Ascitic Fluid Adenosine Deaminase Levels in the Diagnosis of Tuberculous Peritonitis in General Medical Practice [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2020 Background. Tuberculous peritonitis is difficult to diagnose due to its varying clinical features, in addition to the low yield on bacterial culture or polymerase chain reaction using ascitic fluid samples. This study aimed to investigate the sensitivity
