The Circulation of Ascitic Fluid
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 promptly and steadily in the ascitic fluid. The period of complete exchange or turnover in either instance is measured in days (2 to 7), but many factors enter in and make for variation. Lysine labeled with radio carbon is incorporated into the plasma proteins by feeding the donor dog. These experiments emphasize the ready exchange of proteins in the plasma with those in the ascitic pool and vice versa. This exchange may be termed circulation of ascitic protein.

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. ...

Abstract Background: Regarding the diagnostic errors of the classic criteria including serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG), total protein concentration and the adapted Light et al’s criteria in distinguishing transudate versus exudates, we evaluated the ascitic fluid to serum bilirubin ratio as a new criteria in this regard. We also evaluated whether the combination of bilirubin r...
متن کاملProtein Metabolism and Exchange as Influenced by Constriction of the Vena Cava
Constriction of inferior vena cava above the diaphragm is used to produce experimental ascites in the dog. This type of experimental ascites drains the body protein reserves, reduces the level of circulating plasma proteins, and in effect is an internal plasmapheresis. As the ascitic fluid is withdrawn and the proteins measured, we observe a production of ascitic protein (80-90 gm. per week) co...

We administered ascitic fluid containing atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) monoclonal antibody to rats after 3 weeks of exposure to hypoxia while the rats were still hypoxic. In additional chronically hypoxic rats, we infused synthetic rat ANF. In conscious chronically instrumented rats, after a bolus dose of 5 micrograms i.v. ANF, pulmonary arterial pressure fell significantly from 26.5 +/- 2 to...

Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute-phase protein that is produced by the liver to capture the iron that is present in the blood circulation, thus avoiding its accumulation in the blood. Moreover, Hp has been detected in a wide variety of tissues, in which it performs various functions. In addition, this protein is considered a potential biomarker in many diseases, such as cancer, including ovarian ca...
