The mechanisms responsible for ascites formation include alterations in the splanchnic circulation and functional renal abnormalities that favor sodium and water retention,7, 33, 49 Renal abnormalities occur in the setting of marked changes of the systemic circulation characterized by increased cardiac output, reduced total vascular resistance, and activation of neurohormonal vasoactive systems,
Ascites is a pathological accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, It can result from either increased portal venous pressure, low plasma proteins, ch
Ascites: Background Pathophysiology Epidemiology
Mechanisms of Ascites Development Yuval A, Patel, MD; Andrew J, Muir, MD, MHS To the Editor Drs Patel and Muir’s JAMA Diagnostic Test Interpretation article 1 discussed the evaluation of new-onset ascites, including interpretation of protein and albumin levels in ascitic fluid compared with serum to distinguish among the common causes of ascites—hepatic cirrhosis, heart failure, and peritoneal …
The serum-ascites albumin concentration gradient was greater than or equal to 11 g/dl in all patients in both groups The ascitic fluid total protein concentration was greater than or equal to 25 g/dl in all patients with cardiac ascites whereas only 10% of patients with cirrhotic ascites had such high values, The ascitic fluid lactate dehydrogenase and red cell counts were significantly higher in cardiac ascites …

Ascites develops when the rate of leakage exceeds the rate of absorption by the remaining peritoneal lymphatics, Measurement of the protein concentration and the serum–ascites albumin gradient SAAG can be a useful tool to distinguish ascites of different aetiologies,

Avec une hypoalbuminémie le liquide cherche à laisser le dégagement des navires veineux du système de portail ce qui contribue au développement de l’ascite La teneur en sodium et en eau dans le corps est régulée par les reins sous le contrôle de l’hormone antidiurétique, Le foie endommagé n’est pas en mesure de neutraliser suffisamment le sang circulant de l’hormone antidiurétique, qui …

The mechanism by which ascites develops in cirrhosis is multifactorial Severe sinusoidal portal hypertension and hepatic insufficiency are the initial factors They lead to a circulatory dysfunction characterized by arterial vasodilation arterial hypotension, high cardiac output and hypervolemia and to renal sodium and water retention,
