Abstract: Ascites is a condition characterized by abnormal fluid buildup in the peritoneal cavity, primarily caused by cirrhosis of the liver. However, other underlying conditions such as malignant tumors, heart failure, and pancreatitis can also lead to ascites. Patients with ascites may experience symptoms such as abdominal distension, weight gain, and weakness due to fluid accumulation. Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation, including history, physical examination, and diagnostic abdominal paracentesis to analyze the ascitic fluid. The serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) is a crucial parameter used to determine the cause of ascites. Treatment approaches for ascites depend on its severity and underlying cause. Mild cases may not require specific therapy, while moderate ascites can be managed with dietary salt reduction and diuretics. Severe ascites may necessitate therapeutic paracentesis, followed by sodium restriction and diuretic therapy. Liver transplantation may be considered for patients with refractory ascites. The specific treatment plan is tailored to address the underlying cause, which could include autoimmune hepatitis, chronic hepatitis B, hemochromatosis, or ovarian cancer. Complications of ascites encompass spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, dilutional hyponatremia, hepatorenal syndrome, pleural effusion, and umbilical hernia, each requiring individualized management strategies. Thus, ascites is a multifaceted condition with various underlying causes. Its diagnosis involves a comprehensive evaluation, and treatment aims to target the underlying cause, alleviate symptoms, and prevent complications. Continued research efforts are essential to advance diagnostic techniques and explore novel therapeutic options for ascites.
