identifying high and low serum-ascites albumin gradient in ascitic fluid by the point of care dipstick test
objective: to evaluate the capability of ascitic fluid dipstick results for ph, glucose, and protein in order to predict a low serum-ascites albumin gradient (saag) at the bedside of the patient in the emergency department (ed). methods: this prospective cross-sectional study was conducted during one year in the ed of afzalipour hospital in kerman, iran. all patients with diagnostic or therapeu...
متن کاملAnalysis of Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient Test in Ascitic Dogs
The aim of the study was to evaluate Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG) in ascitic dogs. Study was conducted at Referral Veterinary Poly Clinic, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar. Sick dogs were brought with clinical signs suggestive of distended abdomen and inappetance. General clinical examination, biochemical, ultrasound examination, abdominocentesis and peritoneal fluid exa...
متن کاملNew proposal for the serum ascites albumin gradient cut-off value in Chinese ascitic patients
BACKGROUND Serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) has been recognized as a reliable marker in the differential diagnosis of ascites. The etiological background of cirrhosis is rather different between western countries and eastern countries. The threshold of SAAG in Chinese ascitic patients has not been evaluated yet. The aim of this study was to define a new reasonable threshold of SAAG in Chin...
متن کاملComparative utility of sero ascites albumin gradient and ascitic fluid total protein for differential diagnosis of ascites.
Ascites can be defined as the abnormal accumulation of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. Earlier ascites was classified as transudative and exudative based on the total protein concentration of the ascitic fluid. The traditional concept of high protein ascites(> 2.5 g/dl) as exudate was questioned because: (a) the normal peritoneal fluid protein concentration is some times > 4 g/dl(1); (b) th...
