Respiratory mechanics in patients with tense cirrhotic ascites.
Lung volumes are decreased by tense ascites and increase after large volume paracentesis (LVP). The overall effect of ascites and LVP on the respiratory function is poorly understood. We studied eight cirrhotic patients with tense ascites before and after LVP. Inspiratory muscle force (maximal transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi,max), and the lowest pleural pressure (Pp1,min)) was assessed while t...

متن کاملBacteriologic study of cirrhotic patients with non-neutrocytic ascites
AIM We aimed for detection of bacterial DNA (bactDNA) in spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its prognostic relevance in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative non-neutrocytic ascites (CNNNA). BACKGROUND approximately 60% of patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) are ascites culture negative. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of each 77 patient...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient and Portal Hypertensive changes in Cirrhotic Patients with Ascites
Introduction Ascites is a common complication of chronic liver diseases and is related to the extent of portal hypertension. This study evaluated whether the serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) (the difference between the albumin level of serum and of ascitic fluid) is endowed with clinical implications. Materials and methods This is a prospective study involving 50 patients with cirrhosis ...
