Routine analysis of ascitic fluid for evidence of infection in children with chronic liver disease: Is it mandatory? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Ascitic fluid infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in cirrhotic patients, requiring early diagnosis and therapy. We aimed to determine predictors of ascitic fluid infection in children with chronic liver disease.

Sialyl Lewisx-P-selectin cascade mediates tumor-mesothelial adhesion in ascitic fluid shear flow. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Organ-specific colonization suggests that specific cell–cell recognition is essential. Yet, very little is known about this particular interaction. Moreover, tumor cell lodgement requires binding under shear stress, but not static, conditions.

Characteristics of ascitic fluid in the alcoholic cirrhotic [PDF]
Gastroenterology, 1978 A prospective study was conducted to define the characteristics of ascitic fluid in alcoholic cirrhotics with and without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP); to correlate these with findings in the peripheral blood; and to determine whether the use of counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) for bacterial antigens will aid in the early diagnosis of SBP.

Role of ascitic fluid C3 in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis [PDF]
, 2012 Background: The C3 component of complement tends to be reduced in cirrhosis and patients with reduced ascitic fluid C3 concentration and reduced opsonic activities have been shown to be predisposed to SBP.Aim of the work: To compare the level of ascitic ...

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.
