Chyliform ascitic fluid

The Circulation of Ascitic Fluid

After plasma containing labeled plasma protein has been given intraperitoneally to dogs with experimental ascites a steady and rather rapid movement takes place of the labeled protein into the circulating blood. When plasma containing labeled plasma protein has been injected intravenously into the ascitic dog the labeled protein steadily disappears from the circulating blood and appears promptl...

Apoptotic neutrophils in ascitic fluid.

A 60-year-old man with known hepatitis C, cirrhosis, and mild hepatosplenomegaly was admitted for ascites. He had pancytopenia with leukocyte count 2.6 3 10/L, mild neutropenia 1.6 3 10/L, macrocytic anemia, and mild thrombocytopenia. Elevated international normalized ratio, low albumin, high bilirubin, and elevated liver enzymes were noted. Therapeutic paracentesis was performed, and ascitic f...

Purification of Collagen from Ascitic Fluid

The role of ascitic fluid collagen in the pathogenesis of the coagulopathy that follows peritoneovenous shunting was examined. Collagen was partially purified from ascitic fluid and infused into rabbits. All animals developed changes in their haemostatic profile consistent with intravascular coagulation. Aspirin therapy, for five days before the collagen infusion, prevented these changes. Seven...
