Ascitic Fluid Analysis for the Differentiation
The authors tried to differentiate malignancy-related from nonmalignant ascites with a sequence of sensitive followed by specific ascitic-fluid parameters. There were four results of this study. First, of nine parameters investigated in a first series of 48 patients, 28 with nonmalignant and 20 with malignancy-related ascites, ascitic-fluid cholesterol and fibronectin yielded the best negative ...
متن کاملComputerized Tomography-Guided Paracentesis: An Effective Alternative to Bedside Paracentesis?
BACKGROUND Ascites remains the most common cause of hospitalization among patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Paracentesis is a relatively safe procedure with low complication rates. Computerized tomography (CT)-guided therapeutic paracentesis could be a safe and effective alternative to unaided or aided (ultrasonogram-guided) bedside paracentesis. In this retrospective study, we aimed to co...
متن کاملEUS-Guided Biliary Drainage
The echoendoscopic biliary drainage is an option to treat obstructive jaundices when ERCP drainage fails. These procedures compose alternative methods to the side of surgery and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, and it was only possible by the continuous development and improvement of echoendoscopes and accessories. The development of linear setorial array echoendoscopes in early 1990...
متن کاملPrevalence and risk factors for unsuspected spontaneous ascitic fluid infection in cirrhotics undergoing therapeutic paracentesis in an outpatient clinic.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) has been typically described in hospitalized patients. There are little data on ascitic fluid infection in asymptomatic outpatients. The present study was aimed at determining the prevalence and risk factors for asymptomatic ascitic fluid infection among patients with liver cirrhosis attending an outpatient clinic. METHODS Between January 200...
متن کاملThe 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...
