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. ...
متن کاملLow gradient ascites: a seven-year course review.
AIM To study the patients with low gradient ascites in hospitals of Guilan Province (northern Iran). METHODS Patients admitted in hospitals of Guilan Province with low gradient ascites from 1993 to 2000 were enrolled in the study.

Though hepatic amyloidosis was not uncommon in autopsy series, most cases of hepatic amyloidosis were asymptomatic. Ascites, jaundice, portal hypertension, and gastrointestinal bleeding from esophageal varices were reported in literature. CASE REPORT ...
متن کاملUsefulness of Serum Ascites Cholesterol Gradient (sacg), Total Protein (tp) Ratio and Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (saag) in Differentiating Tuberculous Ascites and Cirrhotic Ascites
Background: Differential diagnosis of ascites is a common clinical problem and is usually done by Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient (SAAG).However many other markers can also be utilized for the same. Aims & Objective: This study was carried out to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of ascitic fluid cholesterol, serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) , Total protein Ratio and serum ascites choleste...
متن کاملLymphoma presenting as peritoneal lymphomatosis with ascites.
Multiple intra-abdominal organ infiltration or disseminated peritoneal lymphoma receives much less attention than peritoneal carcinomatosis in clinical practice. This may be due to its relatively infrequent occurrence. In this report, an 89-year-old woman was diagnosed with disseminated peritoneal lymphoma with gastric and rectal involvement and marked ascites. Flow cytometry of the surface mar...
