Ascites and Fluid Collections

2021
Ascites is common in both benign and malignant conditions. In palliative patients, it is a significant contributor to pain, discomfort, and impaired mobility. Drainage of ascitic fluid can be performed through various interventional procedures such as repeated large volume paracentesis/drain insertion, indwelling peritoneal catheters, peritoneovenous ...

Ovarian Cancer: Differentially Expressed microRNAs in Tumor Tissue and Cell-Free Ascitic Fluid as Potential Novel Biomarkers

Cancer Investigation, 2019
Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecologic cancer. The large-scale microRNA (miRNA) expression profiling and individual miRNA validation was performed to find potential novel biomarkers for ovarian cancer. The most consistent overexpression of miRs-200b-

High numbers of myeloid derived suppressor cells in peripheral blood and ascitic fluid of cirrhotic and HCC patients

Immunological Investigations, 2018
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 3rd most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. It has evolved different immune escape mechanisms, which might include emergence of lymphoid and myeloid regulatory cells.

Plasmodium falciparum in ascitic fluid

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1970
Abstract This is believed to be the first report of malaria parasites in a haemorrhagic ascitic fluid: the patient had primary carcinoma of the liver. The P. falciparum parasites, asexual forms and gametocytes, were living in vivo; they were morphologically normal and persisted in this unusual situation for at least 13 days.

The contribution of ascitic fluid to body weight in patients with liver cirrhosis, and its estimation using girth: a cross-sectional observational study.

Journal of human nutrition and dietetics (Print), 2019
BACKGROUND There is a high prevalence of malnutrition among people with decompensated liver disease. Standard nutritional screening tools use weight and body mass index (BMI) to identify risk, although these are difficult to measure for those with ...

Prognostic value of lectin pathway molecules and complement proteins in ascitic fluid and blood in patients with liver cirrhosis

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2018
Background and aim: Patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites have a poor prognosis with increased risk of infection related death, as advanced stages of cirrhosis are associated with immunodeficiency.

Clinical usage of serum albumin to ascitic fluid albumin gradient and ascitic fluid total protein in pediatric ascites

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2021
Abdominal paracentesis is performed as a diagnostic test in children with ascites. Serum albumin to ascitic fluid albumin gradient (SAAG) is frequently used in adults to distinguish types of portal hypertension. We aim to investigate the utilization of SAAG and other biomarkers in determining the etiology of significant ascites in children.In this ...

Prevalence, Clinical Profile, and Outcome of Ascitic Fluid Infection in Children With Liver Disease

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - JPGN, 2017
Objectives: Pediatric literature on spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is limited. We evaluated the prevalence, subtypes, clinical profile, and effect on outcome of ascitic fluid infection (AFI) in children with liver disease. Methods: Children with
