Apolipoprotein A1 as a potential biomarker in the ascitic fluid for the differentiation of advanced ovarian cancers

Biomarkers, 2013
Context: Primary ovarian cancer and ovarian metastasis from non-ovarian cancers in advanced stage are closely mimicking conditions whose therapeutics and prognosis are different.

Anti-Kell (K1) in Ascitic Fluid

Vox Sanguinis, 1975
Abstract. The presence of anti‐Kell (K1) in the ascitic fluid of a patient with adenocarcinoma is described. The antibody has persisted for over 3 years. The anti‐K1 together with the anti‐A and anti‐B also present in the fluid, is compared with antibodies present in the patient's serum.

Interpretation of ascitic fluid data

Postgraduate Medicine, 1982
Except in the case of chylous or hemorrhagic effusion, the gross appearance of ascitic fluid is not especially helpful in the investigation of ascites of unknown origin. The differential diagnosis of ascites rests on more objective data obtained from chemical and cytologic analyses. Both routine and special ascitic fluid tests are listed here, and test

Ascitic fluid ?1-antitrypsin

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1990
Ascitic fluid alpha 1-antitrypsin (AF-AAT) was compared with ascitic fluid total protein (AF-TP) and the serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) in the differential diagnosis of ascites. The study included 82 consecutive patients of which 42 had cirrhosis, 8 hepatoma (with cirrhosis), and 27 malignant ascites (peritoneal 18, liver 9).

Amylase Levels in Ascitic Fluid

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 1987
The amylase concentration of ascitic fluid and serum were measured in patients with various types of ascites to determine their normal range. The mean (+/- SD) nonpancreatic ascites amylase concentration was 42 +/- 44 IU/L (range 4-234) and the mean ascitic fluid/serum amylase concentration ratio was 0.44 +/- 0.33 (range 0.10-1.55).

Ascitic fluid infection in patients with hepatitis B virus‐related liver cirrhosis: Culture‐negative neutrocytic ascites versus spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2010
Background and Aim:  Ascitic fluid infection (AFI) consists of culture‐negative neutrocytic ascites (CNNA) and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). The present study compared the clinical characteristics and prognosis of CNNA and SBP in hepatitis B ...

Immunosuppression mediated by Ehrlich ascites fluid

European Journal of Cancer (1965), 1973
One intraperitoneal injection of cell-free Ehrlich ascites fluid, which did not induce the tumour, inhibited very strongly, and for a long time, the formation of antibody-producing cells (PFC's) in the spleens of recipient mice. The same procedure did not alter cellular immunological reactivity of these splenocytes (assayed by graft-vs-host reaction ...

Ascitic Fluid Cytology in Malignant Brenner Tumor

Acta Cytologica, 2010
BACKGROUND Peritoneal effiusion is rare in malignant Brenner tumors and has been found in only 10% of patients. CASE A 77-year-old woman presented with malignant Brenner tumor and ascites.

Unusual Ovarian Malignancies in Ascitic Fluid

Acta Cytologica, 2010
BACKGROUND Ovarian tumors of germ cell and sex-cord stromal derivation rarely exfoliate malignant cells in serous effusions. A precise tissue diagnosis in these cases may be possible on serous body fluid cytology with a combined clinical and ...

Antimicrobial Activity Of Human Ascitic Fluid

Gastroenterology, 1977
To define the role of humorally mediated antimicrobial activity of human ascitic fluid, bactericidal assays as well as quantitation of complement components (C'3 and C'4), total hemolytic complement, immunoglobulins (IgG, A, and M), and lysozyme were performed on cell-free ascitic fluid from 7 patients with Laennec's cirrhosis. Assays using Escherichia
