This document discusses ascites, which is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. It defines ascites and lists its main causes as increased hydrostatic pressure, decreased colloid osmotic pressure, increased permeability of capillaries, and leakage of fluid. The document describes the pathophysiology and classification of ascites as transudative or exudative. It outlines the clinical signs and diagnostic workup of ascites including abdominal examination, imaging, and analysis of ascitic fluid. Treatment approaches include dietary changes, diuretics, therapeutic paracentesis, TIPS procedure, and liver transplantation.

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GI bleed), also known as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, is all forms of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the rectum. When there is significant blood loss over a short time, symptoms may include vomiting red blood, vomiting black blood, bloody stool, or black stool.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potentially life-threatening
syndrome that occurs primarily in hospitalized patients
and frequently complicates the course of critically ill
patient.
Acute Kidney Injury is is (abrupt) reduction in kidney functions as evidence by changed in laboratory values; serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen(BUN)and urine output

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. DEFINITION
Ascites, from Greek askites, "bag like" is a
gastroenterological term for detectable and
accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity.
It is a common clinical finding with a wide range of
causes, but develops most frequently as a part of the
decompensation of previously asymptomatic chronic
liver disease.
3. CAUSES OF ASCITES
A) Incresased hydrostatic pressure or Venous Hypertension
• Cirrhosis of liver.
• Hepatic vein occlusion or outflow obstruction (Budd- Chiari
syndrome)
• Inferior vena cava obstruction
• Constrictive pericarditis
• Congestive heart failure,or CCF.
4. B) Decreased colloid osmotic pressure
• End-stage liver disease with poor protein synthesis
• Nephrotic syndrome with protein loss
• Malnutrition
• Protein-losing enteropathy(Hypoalbuminemia)
5. C) Increased permeability of peritoneal capillaries
• Tuberculous peritonitis
• Bacterial peritonitis
• Malignant disease of the peritoneum
6. D) Leakage of fluid into the peritoneal cavity
• Bile ascites(seepage of bile)
• Pancreatic ascites(pancreatic duct injury)
• Chylous ascites(accumulation of lipid rich lymph due to disruption
of lymphatic system secondry to trauma and obstruction.)
• Urine ascites(Azotemia)
8. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Ascitic fluid can accumulate as a transudate or an exudate. Amounts
of up to 35 liters are possible.
Roughly, transudates are a result of increased pressure in the hepatic
portal vein (>8 mmHg, usually around 20 mmHg, e.g. due to
cirrhosis, while exudates are actively secreted fluid due to
inflammation or malignancy.
As a result, exudates are high in protein, high in lactate
dehydrogenase, have a low pH (<7.30), a low glucose level, and
more white blood cells. Transudates have low protein (<30g/L), low
LDH, high pH, normal glucose, and fewer than 1 white cell per
1000 mm³. Clinically, the most useful measure is the difference
between ascitic and serum albumin concentrations (SAAG). A
difference of less than 1 g/dl (10 g/L) implies an exudate
10. Clinical Manifestations and Diagnosis
Symptoms
• Large and small amount of ascites
• Asymptomatic
• Abdominal distention and discomfort
• Anorexia
• Nausea
• Heartburn (Gastroesophageal Reflux)
• Flank pain
• Respiratory distress
11. Signs
• Umbilicus may everted.
• Bulging flanks with patient lying supine.
• Weight of ascitic fluid pushes against side walls.
• Tympany at the top of the abdominal curve.
• Patient lies supine.
• Gas filled bowel floats upward over ascites
• Fluid Thrill Wave Test 120 ml
• Shifting Dullness Test 500 ml.
• Puddle Sign 120 ml
12. GRADES OF ASCITES
• Grade 1 :
Mild ascites detectable only by ultrasound examination 100 ml and
CT.
• Grade 2:
Moderate ascites manifested by moderate symmetrical distension
of the abdomen, detectable with flank bulging and shifting dullness.
• Grade 3 :
Large or gross ascites with marked abdominal distension, directly
visible, confirmed with the fluid wave/thrill test.
13. General examinations
Enlarged lymph nodes : Suggestive of TB , leukaemia ,
malignancy , and lymphomas .
Associated jaundice : Cirrhosis of liver .
Dyspnoea , PND , orthopnoea , and oedema :congestive cardiac
failure .
Periorbital oedema , puffiness of face and oedema associated with
ascites : acute nephritis nephrotic synd.
Severe anaemia : Ascites of haematologic origin .
Other signs of malnutrition with ascites : Kwashiorkor .
14. Systematic examination
Abdominal Examination
Inspection
Abdomen is distended .
Umbilicus is everted and slit transversely(laughing umbilicus)
The distance between umbilicus and xiphisternum is more than
the distance between umbilicus and pubic symphysis .
Flanks are full. Nearly 1500 mL of fluid is required to make the
flanks full .
Veins are dilated over the abdomen .
Scrotal oedema indicates nephrotic synd
16. Best single test for classifying ascites into portal hypertensive
(SAAG >1.1 g /dL) and non–portal hypertensive (SAAG <1.1 g
/dL) causes.
Calculated by subtracting the ascitic fluid albumin value from the
serum albumin value,
It correlates directly with portal pressure.
The accuracy is approximately 97% .
17. DIAGNOSTIC PARACENTESIS
10 to 20 mL
The bladder should be emptied prior to the procedure
Most common Site
left lower quadrant
Other site
1. In the midline between the pubic-symphysis & umbilicus,
2. Right iliac fossa, lateral to the inf. epigastric artery or a few cm
above the inguinal lig.
Z-technique
18. Therapeutic Paracentesis
initially the recommendation was to
perform daily 5-L paracentesis until
the disappearance of ascites, it was
subsequently determined that total
paracentesis (i.e. removal of all
ascites in a single procedure
accompanied by the concomitant
infusion of 6– 8 g albumin per liter of
ascites removed) was as safe as
repeated partial paracentesis.
19. Differences between
Transudative
Fluid pushed through the capillaries
due to high pressure within the
capillary.
Serum Albumin - Ascites Albumin
>1.1 gm/dl
Can be due to portal hypertension,
CHF, and Hypoalbuminemia.
Gross apperance- watery, clear.
Specific gravity-<1015
Protein-< 3mg/dl
Cells: usually benign, few
mesothelial cells, histocytesand
lymphocytes.
EXUDATIVE
Fluid that leakes around the cell of
the capillaries cause by
inflammation.
Serum Albumin - Ascites Albumi
<1.1 gm/dl
Can be secondary to malignancy,
infection, or inflammation.
Turbid or Husk colour.
More than 1015
> 3mg/dl
Cells: more mesothelial cells, acute
or chronic inflammatory cells, Rbc’s
and malignant cells.
23. IMAGING STUDIES
Ultrasonography:
Volumes as small as 5- 10 mL can routinely be visualized.
With massive ascites, the small bowel loops have a characteristic polycyclic,
"lollipop,“ appearance
The smallest amounts of fluid tend to collect in the Morison pouch and around the
liver as a sonolucent band.
24. CT Scan:
Ascites is demonstrated well on CT scan.
A number of CT scan features suggest neoplasia. Hepatic, adrenal, splenic, or
lymph node lesions associated with masses arising from the gut, ovary, or
pancreas are suggestive of malignant ascites.

12. Mesenteric venous thrombosis
13. Functional renal failure.
27. Treatment
Patients with moderate ascites can be treated as outpatients and do
not require hospitalization unless they have other complications
of cirrhosis.
Since the development of grade 2 or 3 ascites in patients with
cirrhosis is associated with reduced survival, liver transplantation
should be considered as a potential treatment option
28. Treatment of high SAAG ascites

A) Diet.
B) Diuretics.

Spironolactone: drug of choice in the initial treatment.
Side effects are those related to its anti-androgenic activity, such as
decreased libido, impotence, and gynaecomastia in men and
menstrual irregularity in women.

reabsorption and induces diuresis in 80% of patients at doses of 15–
30 mg/day.
less effective compared with spironolactone.
Bumetanide is similar to frusemide in its action and efficacy
Torsemide are drugs of choice further.
Usual maximum doses are 400 mg/day of spironolactone and
160 mg/day of furosemide.
Overdose leads to intravascular volume depletion leading to renal
impairment, hepatic encephalopathy, and hyponatraemia.
