Analysis of ascitic fluid in cirrhosis

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1979
In order to determine the composition of "normal" ascitic fluid, the results of analysis of the first paracentesis on 347 consecutive cirrhotic patients with ascites at the West Haven Veterans Administration Hospital between 1955 and 1976 were examined. The ascites was considered "normal" in 259 patients.

Analysis of morphological markers of chromosomal instability in ascitic fluid

Diagnostic Cytopathology, 2015
Chromosomal instability (CI) plays a major role in the carcinogenesis. Micronuclei, nuclear budding, chromatin bridges,and multipolar mitoses are the morphological markers of CI and have never been studied in routine cytological specimens.

Ascitic fluid TREM-1 for the diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Gut, 2015
We read with interest the study by Knoop et al 1 who reported deleterious effects of antibiotics on the intestinal microflora. This observation should motivate the development of powerful tools for the diagnosis of infections to limit inappropriate ...

Bile constituents in ascitic fluid

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1988
Bile acids and other bile constituents were determined in serum and ascites from eight patients with liver cirrhosis and in ascites secondary to malignancy in six patients. In cirrhotic ascites, total bile acid levels averaged 53% of the serum levels.

Percutaneous Catheter Drainage of Pancreatitis-Associated Ascitic Fluid in Early-Stage Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Pancreas, 2015
To the Editor: A scites develops in the early stages of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in most patients and in large quantities in some patients. Pancreatitis-associated ascitic fluid (PAAF) contributes to the elevation of intraabdominal pressure (IAP).

Combined Ascitic Fluid and Furosemide Infusion in the Management of Ascites.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1970
Abstract The effect of ascitic-fluid infusion and furosemide administration alone and in combination was studied acutely in eight patients with massive ascites. Ascitic-fluid infusion alone increased glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow and potassium excretion, with no change in urine volume or sodium excretion.

A study of bacteriological profile of ascitic fluid in suspected clinical cases of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis at a tertiary care hospital in India

, 2015
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the development of a monomicrobial infection of ascitic fluid in the absence of any contiguous source of infection.

Platelet indices and inflammatory markers as diagnostic predictors for ascitic fluid infection

European Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepathology, 2014
Background and aim Ascitic fluid infection (AFI) is a common complication in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) may be considered as simple and inexpensive indicators of inflammation in ...

Ascitic Fluid Infusion

JAMA, 1963
INTRAVENOUS INFUSION of autogenous ascitic fluid in the treatment of cirrhotic ascites was first employed in 1911 by Gallup. 1 Since that time it has been utilized to a limited extent by several investigators. Renewed interest during the past few years has been evidenced by Britton, 2 and Yamahiro and Reynolds. 3 The concept of prolonged continuous and

Bacterial Contamination in Ascitic Fluid Is Associated With the Development of Clinically Relevant Pancreatic Fistula After Pancreatoduodenectomy

Pancreas, 2013
Objectives Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy is often accompanied by bacterial infection. To elucidate the mechanism of bacterial infection associated with POPF, we investigated the relationship ...
