Ascetic or Peritoneal fluid
Subject: Clinical Pathology
Muhammad Jawad Ullah
Lecturer (MLT) CUSIT
DEFINITION
• Peritoneal fluid is a liquid made in the abdominal cavity which provides
lubrication to the surface of tissue that lines the abdominal wall and pelvic
cavity.
• It covers most of the organs in the abdomen.
• It is found in small quantities, generally 5-20 ml between the layers of the
peritoneum that line the abdominal wall.
• Elevated level of the said fluid can result in a condition known as ascites.
What is Ascites?
• Ascites is the accumulation of ascitic fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
• Many diseases can cause ascites, but the most common is **portal hypertension,
which is usually due to cirrhosis (Cirrhosis is a late stage of scarring (fibrosis) of the
liver caused by many forms of liver diseases and conditions, such as hepatitis and
chronic alcoholism).
• Ascites does not typically become clinically detectable until there are at least
500mLs of fluid present.
• **Portal hypertension is an increase in the blood pressure within a system of veins
called the portal venous system. Veins coming from the stomach, intestine, spleen,
and pancreas merge into the portal vein
Signs and Symptoms
• Abdominal distension
• Abdominal discomfort
• Weight gain
• Shortness of breath
• Reduced appetite
Physical appearance

• A PERFORATED BOWEL is a hole in the wall of the intestine which can occur for
a variety of reasons.
• PANCREATITIS is the inflammation of pancreas. It happens when digestive
enzymes activated before they are released into small intestine. Two types:
acute and chronic.
• MALIGNANCY is the state or presence of a malignant tumour; cancer.
• HEMORRHAGIC PANCREATITIS is characterized by bleeding within or around the
pancreas, and is usually considered a late sequela of acute pancreatitis.
Chemical examination
Serum Ascitic Albumin Gradient (SAAG)
• The Serum Ascitic Albumin Gradient (SAAG) indirectly measures portal pressure and
can be used to determine if ascites is due to portal hypertension.
• A high SAAG (>1.1g/dL) suggests the ascitic fluid is a transudate
• A low SAAG (<1.1g/dL) suggests the ascitic fluid is an exudate
• A high SAAG (i.e. transudate) suggests the presence of portal hypertension:
• Cirrhosis
• Hepatic failure
• Alcoholic hepatitis
Continue…
• Causes of a low SAAG (i.e. exudate) include:
• Malignancy
• Infection
• Pancreatitis
• Nephrotic syndrome
Microscopic examination
Continue…
• Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is infection of ascitic fluid without an
apparent source.
• Sign and symptoms are:
• Fever
• malaise
• symptoms of ascites and worsening hepatic failure.
