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. ...

Ascitic fluid to serum bilirubin ratio for differentiation of exudates from transudates

  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...

Immunoglobulin and Complement Levels in Liver Cirrhosis and Ovarian Cancer Ascites Patients

The pathological accumulation of abdominal fluid is due to multiple causes often associated with either peritoneal or non-peritoneal diseases. Cirrhosis of liver is a chronic disorder, where ascites develops in advanced stages with alteration in humoral and innate immunity where as in ovarian cancer most of the cases ascites develops in the early stages after the onset of the disease.The aim of...

Morphologic and histochemical features of human sarcomas in tissue culture.

The portions of neoplasm used for expiants were cut into 1to 2-mm. fragments. The clot was formed by mixing 3 drops of chicken blood plasma, one drop of embryo extract, and 1 per cent throm bin. Three expiants were placed on separate slides. Sixteen to 24 double slides (back to back) were incubated in roller tubes with either human ascitic or serum nutrient fluid. 1. Ascitic fluid medium, 50 pe...
