Comparison of Ascitic Fluid Cholesterol and Fibronectin with Conventional Ascitic Protein Values in Differentiating Malignant Ascites from Non malignant Ascites: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023 Introduction: It is a known clinical problem to differentiate between malignant and non malignant ascites because there is no single routine biochemical laboratory test that can completely distinguish between them.

D-dimers and ferritin: Expanding the diagnostic panel for cirrhotic ascites evaluation
Romanian Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2023 Objective: This study aimed to explore the diagnostic role of D-dimers and ferritin in ascitic fluid. We analyzed ascitic and blood samples from twenty cirrhotic patients, using the Child-Pugh classification to assess liver cirrhosis severity.

Correlation of Tumour Markers in Ascitic Fluid and Serum: Are Measurements of Ascitic Tumour Markers a Futile Attempt? [PDF]
, 2009 Correlations between tumour markers in ascitic fluid and serum were investigated to determine whether ascitic fluid analysis had any diagnostic advantage over serum in 91 adults with ascites (55 malign; 36 benign).

Ascitic non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio:a novel prognostic marker in liver cirrhosis [PDF]
Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases, 2020 Background and study aim: Laboratory tests were developed on ascitic fluid for assessing causes, mechanisms, and prognosis of the diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of ascitic lipids in cirrhosis with special consideration to the

Sialyl Lewisx-P-selectin cascade mediates tumor–mesothelial adhesion in ascitic fluid shear flow
Nature Communications, 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.

An appraisal of ascitic fluid cytopathology in a Nigerian tertiary care setting
Ibom Medical Journal, 2021 Background: The pathological accumulation of excess fluid in the peritoneal cavity is termed ascites. It is important to include cytological examination in the overall evaluation of ascitic fluid, so as to help make a distinction between malignant and ...
