Ascites
Accumulation or retention of free fluid within the peritoneal cavity.
Chylous Ascites
Presence of milky lymph (CHYLE) in the PERITONEAL CAVITY, with or without infection.
Carcinoma, Ehrlich Tumor
A transplantable, poorly differentiated malignant tumor which appeared originally as a spontaneous breast carcinoma in a mouse. It grows in both solid and ascitic forms.
Peritoneovenous Shunt
An operation for the continuous emptying of ascitic fluid into the venous system. Fluid removal is based on intraperitoneal and intrathoracic superior vena cava pressure differentials and is performed via a pressure-sensitive one-way valve connected to a tube traversing the subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall to the neck where it enters the internal jugular vein and terminates in the superior vena cava. It is used in the treatment of intractable ascites.

Identification and characterization of a homozygous deletion found in ovarian ascites by representational difference analysis. (1/991)

We have performed representational difference analysis (RDA) on DNA from tumor cells and normal fibroblasts isolated from the ascites of a patient with ovarian cancer. Five of six products of the RDA were homozygously deleted from the tumor DNA. One of these products has been characterized and identifies a homozygous deletion of approximately 6.9 Mb at chromosome 9p21 in the original ovarian tumor material. This deletion encompasses CDKN2A (p16), CDKN2B (p15), and IFN-alpha. PCR analysis of other tumor cell lines using the novel STS based on the RDA product has shown it to lie between IFN-alpha and p16, and to identify the distal extent of a homozygous deletion in another ovarian cancer cell line. These data provide further evidence for a tumor suppressor locus distinct from, but mapping close to, p16 on 9p21. Cytogenetic analysis using comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) performed on the same primary tumor confirmed a loss of material from chromosome 9p. However, the CGH technique had neither the resolution nor the sensitivity to define a subregion of homozygous loss.  (+info)

Antibiotic penetrance of ascitic fluid in dogs. (2/991)

Antibiotic concentrations in ascitic fluid after parenteral therapy may be important in the treatment of peritonitis. We have created ascites in dogs by partial ligation of the inferior vena cava. Ascitic fluid volume was measured at the time each antibiotic was administered. Nine antibiotics were studied in the same three dogs. Antibiotic concentration in ascitic fluid was found to vary inversely with ascites volume. Percentage of penetration (ratio of ascites peak to serum peak x100) ranged from 5.8 to 65% among the drugs studied. Only metronidazole showed a statistically significant higher percentage of penetration than other antimicrobials. Concentrations in ascitic fluid after single doses of cephalothin (15 mg/kg) and the aminoglycosides (2 mg/kg, gentamicin and tobramycin; 7.5 mg/kg, amikacin and kanamycin) did not exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration of many gram-negative rods and may justify the use of higher than usual initial parenteral doses, or possibly initial intraperitoneal administration in seriously ill patients.  (+info)

An endonuclease from mouse cells specific for single-stranded DNA. (3/991)

An endonuclease with a molecular weight of about 70000 (5-6S) was extensively purified from mouse ascites cells. The enzyme specifically attacks single-stranded DNA which is degraded mainly to oligonucleotides, with 5-10 residues. Supercoiled covalently closed circular phage DNA is converted to the linear relaxed form. The enzyme activity is highly sensitive to salt and can be stimulated by reagents lowering the dielectric constant of the buffer such as dimethylsulfoxide and glycerol.  (+info)

Hyperreactio luteinalis associated with chronic renal failure. (4/991)

Hyperreactio luteinalis is a rare benign condition characterized by bilateral ovarian enlargement associated with pregnancies where high concentrations of maternal serum human chorionic gonadotrophins are present. This condition may mimic the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. We report a case of a 34 year old woman with a history of chronic renal failure on haemodialysis who presented at 10 weeks' gestational age with hyperreactio luteinalis which was treated conservatively. Because of chronic renal failure, the presentation and course of the disease was different from that which has been previously reported.  (+info)

Lymph and pulmonary response to isobaric reduction in plasma oncotic pressure in baboons. (5/991)

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure was reduced by 76% (from 19.6 +/- 0.6 to 4.7 +/- 1.5 mm Hg) in five baboons while pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure was maintained at a normal level. This resulted in fluid retention, weight gain, peripheral edema and ascites, but no pulmonary edema. Thoracic duct lymph flow increased 6-fold and pulmonary lymph flow 7-fold. Thoracic duct lymph had a lower colloid osmotic pressure (2.0 +/- 0.7 mm Hg) than plasma (4.7 +/- 1.5 mm Hg), whereas the colloid osmotic pressure of pulmonary lymph (4.7 +/- 0.7 mm Hg) was the same as that of plasma. The lymph-plasma ratio for albumin fell in thoracic duct lymph but remained unchanged in pulmonary lymph. The difference between plasma colloid osmotic pressure and pulmonary artery wedge pressure decreased from 15.3 +/- 1.9 to -0.7 +/- 2.9 mm Hg. Despite this increase in filtration force, the lungs were protected from edema formation by a decrease of 11 mm Hg in pulmonary interstitial colloid osmotic pressure and a 7-fold increase in lymph flow.  (+info)

Fas gene mutation in the progression of adult T cell leukemia. (6/991)

Fas antigen (Apo-1/CD95) is an apoptosis-signaling cell surface receptor belonging to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. Adult T cell leukemia (ATL) cells express Fas antigen and show apoptosis after treatment with an anti-Fas monoclonal antibody. We established the ATL cell line KOB, which showed resistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis, and found that KOB expressed two forms of Fas mRNA, the normal form and a truncated form. The truncated transcript lacked 20 base pairs at exon 9, resulting in a frame shift and the generation of a premature stop codon at amino acid 239. The same mutation was detected in primary ascitic cells and peripheral blood cells. The mutation was not detected in lymph node cells, however, although all of the primary ATL cells were of the same clonal origin. A retroviral-mediated gene transfer of the truncated Fas to Jurkat cells rendered the cells resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis, suggesting a dominant negative interference mechanism. These results indicate that an ATL subclone acquires a Fas mutation in the lymph nodes, enabling the subclone to escape from apoptosis mediated by the Fas/Fas ligand system and proliferate in the body. Mutation of the Fas gene may be one of the mechanisms underlying the progression of ATL.  (+info)

Effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on systemic, renal and forearm haemodynamics and sodium homoeostasis in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites. (7/991)

Systemic arterial vasodilatation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sodium retention in cirrhosis. Hydrophobic bile acids, which have vasodilatory actions, may be involved. Ursodeoxycholic acid, a hydrophilic bile acid, could potentially decrease systemic arterial vasodilatation, possibly due to its antioxidant effects, and improve sodium handling in cirrhosis. The effects of ursodeoxycholic acid on systemic, renal and forearm haemodynamics, liver function and renal sodium handling were assessed in vasodilated cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites treated with a transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS). Eight cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites without TIPS placement served as controls for the sodium handling effects of ursodeoxycholic acid. From 1 month post TIPS, seven patients were studied before, after 1 month of treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (15 mg.day-1.kg-1) and at 1 month follow-up. Lipid peroxidation products were used as indices of its antioxidant effects. Ursodeoxycholic acid caused a significant reduction in sodium excretion in both groups (P<0.05). This, in the post-TIPS patients (urinary sodium excretion: 35+/-8 mmol/day at 1 month versus 93+/-21 mmol/day at baseline, P<0.05), was due to a significant increase in sodium reabsorption proximal to the distal tubule (P<0.05), without any significant changes in systemic, renal or forearm haemodynamics, or in liver function. No significant change in lipid peroxidation products was observed. We conclude that: (i) in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites, ursodeoxycholic acid causes sodium retention, (ii) the abnormality in sodium handling in the post-TIPS cirrhotic patients appears to be the result of a direct effect on the proximal nephron, suggesting that factors other than systemic vasodilatation also contribute to sodium retention in cirrhosis, (iii) caution should be exercised in administering ursodeoxycholic acid in cirrhotic patients with ascites.  (+info)

Expression of phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase in Yoshida ascites hepatoma cells and the livers of host rats. (8/991)

Previous studies have implicated phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase-2 (PEMT2) in the regulation of non-neoplastic liver growth [Tessitore,L., Cui,Z. and Vance,E. (1997) Biochem. J., 322, 151-154]. We have now investigated whether or not PEMT2 is also involved in the control of proliferation of hepatoma cells growing in an animal and cell death by apoptosis in the liver of tumor-bearing rats. PEMT activity was barely detectable and PEMT2 protein was absent in hepatoma cells growing exponentially in vivo whereas CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) activity and expression were high. The lack of PEMT2 corresponded with the absence of its mRNA. Both PEMT2 protein and mRNA appeared when cells entered the stationary phase of tumor growth and, in parallel, CT expression decreased. The host liver first became hyperplastic and exhibited a slight increase in CT activity and decrease in PEMT2 expression. During the stationary phase of hepatoma growth the host liver regressed and eventually became hypoplastic following induction of apoptosis. The appearance of apoptosis in the host liver was associated with a marked reduction in both CT activity and expression as well as an enhancement of PEMT activity and PEMT2 expression. McArdle RH7777 hepatoma cells underwent apoptosis when transfected with cDNA for PEMT2. The evidence supports the proposal that PEMT2 may have a role in the regulation of 'in vivo' hepatoma and hepatocyte cell division as well as hepatocyte cell death by apoptosis.  (+info)

Background: Differential diagnosis of ascites is a common clinical problem. Less expensive biochemical techniques are required to differentiate ascites with unknown etiology. Aim: To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of ascitic fluid cholesterol, serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) and serum ascites cholesterol gradients (SACG) in differentiating cirrhotic, tuberculous and malignant ascites. Methods: 50 patients (25 with hepatic cirrhosis, 15 with tuberculosis and10 with malignancy) were evaluated for ascitic fluid total protein, albumin, cholesterol, SAAG and SACG. Results: The mean ascitic fluid cholesterol was significantly higher in malignant ascites when compared with cirrhosis and tuberculous ascites (p= 0.0001 each). The difference between tuberculous and cirrhotic ascites was also significant (p= 0.001). The mean value of SAAG was significantly higher in cirrhosis when compared with tuberculous and malignant ascites (p= 0.0001; p= 0.001 respectively) but the difference between ...

One of the major limitations of immunotherapy with rIL-2 protein for ovarian cancer is that, due to its short half-life, frequent injections of high doses of the protein are required to sustain therapeutic levels, and this is often associated with serious side effects (21). Although i.v. bolus injection of IL-2 results in a serum half-life of ∼7 min, i.p. infusion results in a peritoneal fluid half-life of ∼22 h (22, 23). Recently, a promising 25% response rate was reported after treatment of advanced ovarian cancer patients with IL-2 protein delivered by either continuous 7-day i.p. infusion or weekly 24-h i.p. infusion (11). Constant delivery of the IL-2 protein over either 7 days or 24 h resulted in stable IL-2 levels in the tumor ascites during the infusion period. These results suggest that one improvement in IL-2 therapy for ovarian cancer may be administration of IL-2 in such a manner that the sharply fluctuating IL-2 levels common after bolus protein therapy are avoided..

Ovarian cancer has often spread beyond the ovary to involve the peritoneal cavity at the time of diagnosis (2) and associated with malignant ascites formation (29-31). Debulking surgery followed by i.v. chemotherapy may allow clinical remission of the disease but disease recurrence in the peritoneal cavity is common and will eventually lead to demise of the patient. In the present study, we report that ovarian cancer xenografts growing in SCID mice are inhibited by bevacizumab and rapamycin. Both rapamycin and bevacizumab as a single treatment have a defined effect on the inhibition of tumor growth, tumor cell dissemination, and prolongation of survival. When combined with rapamycin, however, bevacizumab reduces tumor growth by ∼94% and significantly prolongs survival. Indeed, the combination of BEV/RAPA induces a significant decrease in the number of proliferating cells, the mean of Ki-67-positive cells, the mean vessel density, and ascites formation and inhibited tumor cells from ...

Catumaxomab - WikipediaCatumaxomab - Wikipedia
Catumaxomab (trade name Removab) is a rat-mouse hybrid monoclonal antibody which is used to treat malignant ascites, a condition occurring in people with metastasizing cancer. It binds to antigens CD3 and EpCAM. It is in clinical trials in the United States currently and is used in Europe. It was developed by Fresenius Biotech and Trion Pharma (Germany). The drug is used for the treatment of malignant ascites in people with EpCAM-positive cancer if a standard therapy is not available. Ascites is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The usual treatment of malignant ascites is to puncture the peritoneum to let the accumulated fluid drain out. After the puncture, catumaxomab is given as an intraperitoneal infusion. The procedure is repeated four times within about eleven days. It has been shown that puncture free survival can be increased from 11 to 46 days with this treatment. Common adverse effects include fever, nausea and vomiting. Fever and pain should be controlled by giving ...

A 75-year-old man with rectal cancer had consumed an average of6 6 g of alcohol per day for 47 years. However, his liver function was within normal limits and his Child-Pugh classification was A before initiation of therapy. He underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation and a low anterior resection. The patient then received CapeOX as an adjuvant therapy. During the fourth cycle of CapeOX, computed tomography(CT)showed massive ascites. The chemotherapy was discontinued and treatment including a diuretic agent was initiated. The ascites gradually decreased and 8 months after the discontinuation of CapeOX, CT showed neither the presence ofascites nor recurrence ofthe cancer or metastasis. When a patient has a history ofexcessive alcohol intake, even iftest results for liver function are within normal limits, we should be aware ofthe hepatic toxicity ofCapeOX.

Previous studies by our group and others have addressed the relationship between leukocyte infiltration into solid tumors and chemokine expression (14 , 16 , 23) . To our knowledge, this work is the first comprehensive study of CC chemokines and chemokine receptor expression in human ovarian cancer ascites.. We found that ascitic fluid is rich in CC chemokines and that the CD14-expressing cells and T cells present in ovarian cancer ascites express CC chemokine receptor mRNA and protein.. Is the extent and phenotype of the leukocyte infiltration in ovarian ascites related to chemokines and chemokine receptor expression? Gradients of chemokines usually cause tissue recruitment of leukocytes through effects on adhesion and endothelial transmigration (24) . Our data suggest that CC chemokine protein levels are significantly higher in ascitic fluid than in patient plasma samples. Therefore, chemokines present in ascites could form a gradient for leukocyte migration into the peritoneal cavity. ...

LPA levels are consistently elevated in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients (41 , 42) and likely contributing to the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer (6) . The mechanisms leading to the elevated levels of LPA in ovarian cancer ascites are not currently clear. Although ovarian cancer cells can release LPA into cell supernatants (11 , 12) , it is not known whether ovarian cancer cells or other cellular components in ascites are the primary source of LPA. Furthermore, it is not known whether the increased levels are because of increased rates of production or decreased rates of degradation. We have demonstrated that the major mechanism of LPA degradation by ovarian cancer cells is through an LPP-like activity (16) .. The LPP family includes at least three members, LPP-1, LPP-2, and LPP-3 isoforms (13 , 38 , 39) . LPP-like properties serve to terminate the receptor-directed signaling functions of LPA and hydrolyze LPA, PA, ceramide 1-phosphate, and sphingosine 1-phosphate (14 , 15 , 38 , 43) . ...

The treatment of ascites in liver cirrhosis is typically performed by different medical specialists. However, professionals other than gastroenterologists and hepatologists can also perform the treatment procedures, including gastroenterological surgeons, nephrologists and infectologists. Different medical doctors follow these patients depending on their degree of familiarity with ascites treatment, and they play a key role in the ultimate goal of therapy. However, many professionals do not follow any established treatment protocol, which may lead to the emergence of several complications, such as HE and renal dysfunction, which are the most frequent complications 7.. Because many physicians note difficulties in managing massive ascites, we aimed to introduce a protocol that identifies outpatient cirrhotic patients with ascites that is considered difficult to manage (due to cirrhosis decompensation).

CA125 is the most widely used tumour marker in ovarian cancer with unsatisfactory sensitivity and specificity especially at early stage. It is quantified by antibody-based immunoassays; however different molecular weight isoforms have been described in the literature which have never been validated by mass spectrometry, potentially affecting the diagnostic accuracy and clinical reliability of the test. In this study, CA125 was detected by Western blot and its identity confirmed by mass spectrometry. Two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis in combination with mass spectrometry revealed that positive Western blot signals up to 500 kDa are most likely false-positive interactions of M11-like and OC125-like antibodies. Fibronectin, identified as one of these false-positive interaction partners, increased the reading for CA125 in a first generation ELISA significantly (p = 0.02). The existence of low-molecular weight isoforms of CA125 is therefore questionable and is most likely reflecting cross-reactivity

Management of the Complications of Cirrhosis - Practical GastroManagement of the Complications of Cirrhosis - Practical Gastro
The two main mechanisms of ascites formation in cirrhosis are universal: portal (sinusoidal) hypertension and renal retention of sodium. In cirrhosis, fluid extravasates from the hepatic sinusoids rather than from the splanchnic capillaries. Therefore, leakage of fluid into the peritoneal space occurs as a result of sinusoidal hypertension that in turn results from hepatic venous outflow block secondary to regenerative nodules and fibrosis. However, sinusoidal hypertension alone is not sufficient for the continuous formation of ascites. Plasma volume expansion, through sodium and water retention, allows for the replenishment of the intravascular volume and is the other essential factor in the pathogenesis of cirrhotic ascites. As mentioned above, as portal pressure increases (and collaterals form), there is concomitant arterial splanchnic and systemic vasodilatation that results in a reduction in the effective arterial blood volume.19 This underfilling leads to baroreceptor stimulation and ...

At the hospital its important to monitoring body weight and the intake and output of fluids. Fluid restriction is only necessary if the serum sodium concentration drops below 120 mmol per liter. It is also important to determine the sodium balance which can be approximated by monitoring intake(diet, sodium-containing medications and intravenous solutions) and urinary excretion because, a negative sodium balance is a predictor of weight loss.. A reasonable goal for a patient without peripheral edema is a negative sodium balance with a weight loss of 0.5 Kg per day.. Drugs. Most patient with cirrhotic ascites respond to dietary sodium restriction and diuretics. The combination of spironolactone and furosemide is the most effective regimen for rapid diminution of ascites. The starting dose is 100 mg of Spironolactone and 40 mg of Furosemide together in the morning. If there is no decrease in body weight or increase in urinary sodium excretion after two or three days, the doses of both drugs should ...

Human monocyte populations are heterogeneous in size and morphology, and also in their function. In this study, we have identified, for the first time, a subset of monocytes from the peritoneal cavity of patients with ovarian cancer that were able to suppress T cell responses. These cells, which were CD14 positive, did not express molecules that are associated with activation or costimulation, such as HLA-DR, CD80, or CD86. These monocytes were therefore unlikely to have Ag presenting functions but could represent a population of cells with immunosuppressive functions. The IL-10-producing cells were detected only in the PEC of ovarian cancer patients and were not detected in the peripheral blood of these patients. However, the CD14+/HLA-DR−/IL-10+ cells were detected after in vitro stimulation of PBMC from patients with ovarian cancer utilizing rGM-CSF and rIL-2 (24). Suppressor monocyte populations have been identified in the microenvironment of other tumor systems, notably fibrosarcomas and ...

Evidence for down-regulation of beta-2-adreno-ceptors in cirrhotic patients with severe ascitesEvidence for down-regulation of beta-2-adreno-ceptors in cirrhotic patients with severe ascites
The density and affinity of beta-2-adrenoceptors on mononuclear cells from peripheral blood were studied in fifteen patients with cirrhosis of different severity and in thirteen controls. There was no significant difference between cirrhotic patients and controls in density or affinity of beta-2 binding sites. Within the cirrhotic group, however, the number of binding sites per cell was significantly lower in patients with severe ascites than in patients with mild to moderate or no ascites. This down-regulation of beta-adrenoceptors could influence the haemodynamic response to beta-blockers. ...

A total of 150 day old female chickens (Ross 308) were randomly allocated to 2 groups with 5 replicate and 15 chicks in each replicate to determine the effects of cold induced ascites on performance, antioxidant status, blood enzyme activities and bone metabolism. The two experimental treatments were: 1) chicks that reared under normal temperature (NT) and 2) chicks that reared under cold temperature (CT). The experiment was terminated at 42 day of chicken age. Feed intake was reduced significantly by ascites during the starter period. Weight gain of NT birds was higher than CT birds during the starter, grower, finisher and the whole period (P|0.05). Feed conversion ratio was greater for CT birds during the grower, finisher and the whole period (P|0.05). Total mortality was greater in CT birds than NT ones during the whole period (P|0.05).

Dear Editor,. We report the case of a 47-year-old male with multiple myeloma who had received three previous hematopoietic cell transplants (HCT). Due to disease recurrence, a new HCT was performed after an appropriate conditioning therapy. Two days later he presented with ascites, jaundice and hepatomegaly. The ultrasound findings were hepatosplenomegaly and moderate ascites. Doppler examination showed signs of hepatic congestion with a slower portal flow, increased resistance in the hepatic artery (Fig. 1) and decreased liver compliance with a single-phase wave of the suprahepatic veins. The diagnosis was confirmed by a transjugular liver biopsy that showed extravasation of red blood cells, edema and subendothelial fibrosis in the centrolobuliary veins. Treatment with defibrotide was initiated and the patient improved on a clinical and analytical level. Hepatic vascularization and perfusion also improved, the portal vein exhibited a normal diameter, and velocity and flow and the hepatic artery ...

Evidence that the phosphatidylinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is deregulated in ovarian cancer is largely based on analysis of surgical specimens sampled at diagnosis and may not reflect the biology of advanced ovarian cancer. We aimed to investigate PI3K signalling in cancer cells isolated from patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Ascites samples were analysed from 88 patients, of whom 61 received further treatment. Cancer cells were immunomagnetically separated from ascites and the signalling output of the PI3K pathway was studied by quantifying p-AKT, p-p70S6K and p-GSK3β by ELISA. Relevant oncogenes such as PIK3CA and AKT were sequenced by PCR-amplified mass spectroscopy detection methods. In addition, PIK3CA and AKT2 amplifications and PTEN deletions were analysed by fluorescent-in-situ hybridization. p-p70S6K levels were significantly higher in cells from 37/61 patients who did not respond to subsequent chemotherapy (0.7184 vs 0.3496; p = 0.0100) and this difference was greater in ...

FRIDAY, Sept. 22, 2017 (HealthDay News) - Serum cystatin C level is an excellent predictor of mortality in patients with cirrhotic ascites, according to a study published online Sept. 14 in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.. Yeon Seok Seo, M.D., Ph.D., from the Korea University College of Medicine in Seoul, South Korea, and colleagues prospectively enrolled 350 patients with cirrhotic ascites (mean age, 55.4 years; 76.3 percent male) from 15 hospitals (September 2009 through March 2013). The authors sought to evaluate the prognostic efficacy of serum cystatin C level in patients with cirrhotic ascites.. The researchers found that serum creatinine and cystatin C levels were 0.9 and 1.1 mg/L, respectively. International normalized ratio (INR) and serum bilirubin, sodium, and cystatin C levels were independent predictors of mortality, in multivariate analyses, while INR and serum sodium and cystatin C levels were independent predictors of the development of type 1 hepatorenal syndrome ...

Peritoneovenous shunts (LeVeen type) were implanted in seven patients with cirrhosis complicated by ascites refractory to diuretic treatment. Three patients died of gastrointestinal bleeding and hepatic coma 1 to 7 weeks after the shunt implantation. The patients who died were those with the most severely impaired liver and kidney function. In two of the four surviving patients (observation time, 5-24 months) the shunt was patent during the observation time, and ascites disappeared. In the other two the shunt closed, in one patient repeatedly following several re-implantations. Enhanced urinary sodium excretion was observed in patients with patent shunts. After disappearance of ascites, the splanchnic venous pressures became less deranged. Long-term change in plasma volume or circulating albumin mass could not be detected. A patent shunt increases the drainage from the peritoneal cavity, but detectable increment in the overall lymph drainage was only found in a patient with a very low pre-shunt ...

Background. UK deaths due to chronic liver diseases such as cirrhosis have quadrupled over the last 40 years, making this condition now the third most common cause of premature death. Most patients with advanced cirrhosis (end-stage liver disease [ESLD]) develop ascites. This is often managed with diuretics, but if refractory, then the fluid is drained from the peritoneal cavity every 10-14 days by large volume paracentesis (LVP), a procedure requiring hospital admissions. As the life expectancy of patients with ESLD and refractory ascites (if ineligible for liver transplantation) is on average ≤ 6 months, frequent hospital visits are inappropriate from a palliative perspective. One alternative is long-term abdominal drains (LTADs), used successfully in patients whose ascites is due to malignancy. Although inserted in hospital, these drains allow ascites management outside of a hospital setting. LTADs have not been formally evaluated in patients with refractory ascites due to ...

It has recently been shown that repeated large-volume paracentesis associated with intravenous albumin infusion is a rapid, effective, and safe therapy of ascites in cirrhosis. To investigate whether intravenous albumin infusion is necessary in the treatment of cirrhotics with large-volume paracentesis, 105 patients with tense ascites were randomly allocated into two groups. Fifty-two patients (group 1) were treated with paracentesis (4-6 L/day until disappearance of ascites) plus intravenous albumin infusion (40 g after each tap), and 53 (group 2) with paracentesis without albumin infusion. After disappearance of ascites, patients were discharged from the hospital with diuretics. Patients developing tense ascites during follow-up were treated according to their initial schedule. Paracentesis was effective in eliminating the ascites in 50 patients from group 1 and in 48 from group 2, with the duration of the hospital stay being approximately 11 days in both groups. Paracentesis plus intravenous ...

An operation for the continuous emptying of ascitic fluid into the venous system. fluid removal is based on intraperitoneal and intrathoracic superior vena cava pressure differentials and is performed via a pressure-sensitive one-way valve connected to a tube traversing the subcutaneous tissue of the chest wall to the neck where it enters the internal jugular vein and terminates in the superior vena cava. It is used in the treatment of intractable ascites. A peritoneovenous shunt refers to the surgical insertion of a shunting tube to achieve the continuous emptying of ascitic fluid into the venous system. Purpose Ascites is a serious medical disorder characterized by the pathological accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, the smooth membrane that lines the cavity of the abdomen and surrounds the organs. Ascites is usually related to acute and chronic liver disease (cirrhosis) and to a lesser degree, to malignant tumors arising in the ovary, colon, or breast. Ascites may also be ...

Ovarian cancer ascitic fluid, which contains malignant cells, is usually present in women with an advanced stage disease. There are currently no effective therapies for the treatment of ovarian cancer ascitic fluid. We developed a new therapeutic strategy to target expression of the diphtheria toxin fragment A gene in ovarian tumor cells under the control of H19 regulatory sequences. A 64-year-old Caucasian woman was diagnosed with a stage IIIc epithelial ovarian cancer. She suffered from progressive disease, accumulation of malignant ascites that needed to be drained weekly, abdominal pain, vomiting, anorexia and severe weakness.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis - WikipediaSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis - Wikipedia
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the development of a bacterial infection in the peritoneum causing peritonitis, despite the absence of an obvious source for the infection. It occurs almost exclusively in people with portal hypertension (increased pressure over the portal vein), usually as a result of cirrhosis of the liver. It can also occur in patients with nephrotic syndrome. The diagnosis of SBP requires paracentesis (aspiration of fluid with a needle) from the abdominal cavity. If the fluid contains bacteria or large numbers of neutrophil granulocytes (>250 cells/µL) (a type of white blood cells), infection is confirmed and antibiotics are required to avoid complications. In addition to antibiotics, infusions of albumin are usually administered. Signs and symptoms of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis include fevers, chills, nausea, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, and general malaise. Affected individuals may complain of abdominal pain and worsening ascites. Thirteen percent of ...

Paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) is a recently described complication that can be prevented with the administration of plasma expanders. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of saline versus albumin in the prevention of PICD. Patients were randomized to receive albumin or saline after total paracentesis. Patients readmitted as a consequence of a second episode of tense ascites were treated with total paracentesis and the alternative plasma expander. After randomization, 35 patients received saline and 37 received albumin. Twenty-one patients were readmitted for tense ascites and treated with the alternative expander. Significant increases in plasma renin activity (PRA) were found 24 hours and 6 days after paracentesis when saline was used (baseline, 5.6 +/- 5.7; 24 hours, 7.6 +/- 6.9; 6 days, 8.5 +/- 8.0 ng. mL(-1). hr(-1); P ,.05 and P ,.01 vs. baseline, respectively), whereas no significant changes were observed with albumin. The incidence of PICD was ...

Ascites is a major complication of cirrhosis. There are several evidence-based articles and guidelines for the management of adults, but few data have been published in relation to children. In the case of a pediatric patient with cirrhotic ascites (PPCA), the following questions are raised: How are the clinical assessment and ancillary tests performed? When is ascites considered refractory? How is it treated? Should fresh plasma and platelets be infused before abdominal paracentesis to prevent bleeding? What are the hospitalization criteria? What are the indicated treatments? What complications can patients develop? When and how should hyponatremia be treated? What are the diagnostic criteria for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis? How is it treated? What is hepatorenal syndrome? How is it treated? When should albumin be infused? When should fluid intake be restricted? The recommendations made here are based on pathophysiology and suggest the preferred approach to diagnostic and therapeutic ...

Ascites is a major and common complication of liver cirrhosis. Large or refractory ascites frequently necessitates paracentesis. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of paracentesis on hemodynamic and respiratory parameters in critically ill patients. Observational study comparing hemodynamic and respiratory parameters before and after paracentesis in 50 critically ill patients with advanced hemodynamic monitoring. 28/50 (56%) required mechanical ventilation. Descriptive statistics are presented as mean ± standard deviation for normally distributed data and median, range, and interquartile range (IQR) for non-normally distributed data. Comparisons of hemodynamic and respiratory parameters before and after paracentesis were performed by Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Bivariate relations were assessed by Spearmans correlation coefficient and univariate regression analyses. Median amount of ascites removed was 5.99 L (IQR, 3.33-7.68 L).

CA125 is a well-established ovarian cancer (OC) serum biomarker. The CA125 heavily glycosylated epitope is carried by the MUC16 mucin, a high molecular weight transmembrane mucin. Upon proteolytic cleavage, the extracellular domain of MUC16 is released from the cell surface into malignant ascites and blood vessels. Previous studies have shown that both tumor and surrounding mesothelial cells may express MUC16. Although little is known about the regulation of MUC16 expression in these cells, recent evidence suggest that inflammatory cytokines may stimulate MUC16 expression. Because malignant ascites is a pro-inflammatory environment, we investigated whether OC ascites stimulate the expression and release of MUC16 by human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). HPMCs were isolated from peritoneal lavages of women operated for conditions other than cancer. MUC16 protein expression was determined by immunoblot, immunofluorescence or immunohistochemistry depending on the experiments. The release of MUC16 from

Predictive value of low SAAG in cirrhotics | The Hospital LeaderPredictive value of low SAAG in cirrhotics | The Hospital Leader
In patients with ascites, a low SAAG (serum-ascites albumin gradient) ,1.1 g/dl is usually thought to be caused by non-portal hypertensive etiologies. However, in this cohort of 76 cirrhotic patients withlow SAAG, the etiology could be identified in only 38% (bacterial peritonitis, malignancy, nephrotic syndrome). In non-cirrhotics, the etiology could be identified in 75% of cases. In those cirrhotics who had a repeat paracentesis to determine etiology, 73% had a high SAAG on repeat paracentesis. In patients with cirrhosis, the predictive value of SAAG in determining etiology of ascites is low (abstract).. ...

The mechanism of increase in the protein concentration of ascitic fluid during diuresis was investigated in 27 patients with chronic liver disease. The albumin concentration increased in ascites from .58 +/- .49 gm.% in the initial paracentesis to 1.48 +/- .69 gm.% in the final paracentesis (P less than .001) as the serum albumin concentration increased from 2.40 +/- .44 gm.% 2.94 +/- .56 gm.% (P less than .001). The serum to ascites albumin concentration gradient decreased significantly from 1.82 +/- .39 gm.%-1.46 +/- .45 gm.% (P less than .001). Despite this decrease, the serum to ascites albumin concentration gradient was relatively constant (decrease of .36 gm.% or 20% of initial value) compared to either the absolute or percentage chan ...

Renal congestion is becoming recognized as a potential contributor to cardiorenal syndromes. Adequate control of congestion with simultaneous preservation of renal function has been proposed as a central goal of the management of heart failure. We report our care of a 48-year-old woman suffering from right heart failure and massive fluid overload due to severe pulmonary hypertension secondary to a combination of left-heart disease and status after recurrent pulmonary embolisms. Alterations in Doppler-derived intrarenal venous flow patterns and a novel renal venous stasis index were used to evaluate improvement in renal venous congestion during decompensation. Due to refractory congestion despite optimal medical treatment and continuous veno-venous hemodialysis, a peritoneal dialysis catheter was placed to relieve the massive ascites. The paracentesis of ascites led to a significant loss of weight, normalization of hydration status with subsequent termination of continuous veno-venous ...

Large volume paracentesis is an effective treatment for refractory ascites. The need for plasma volume expansion after paracentesis is controversial. Some studies have failed to demonstrate any disturbances in systemic or renal haemodynamics 48 hours after a single 5 litre paracentesis.5 14 However, other studies have highlighted the potential harmful effects on circulatory homeostasis after massive paracentesis in patients with tense ascites when performed without simultaneous plasma volume expansion.1 2 The pathogenesis of PCD remains incompletely understood. Recently, Ruiz del Arbolet al showed that the degree of activation of the renin-angiotensin system and sympathetic nervous system six days after paracentesis correlated inversely with changes in SVR.13 This finding suggests that accentuation of the peripheral arterial vasodilatation of cirrhosis occurs sometime after massive paracentesis. Similar results were observed in a recently published study14 showing that the increase in PRA and ...

In cirrhosis, the development of ascites and the response to diuretics are determined by the RAAS (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system) and renal sodium handling system. We hypothesized that SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) affecting candidate genes in the RAAS and renal sodium handling pathway may influence initial diuretic responsiveness and affect clinical outcome in non-azotaemic cirrhotic patients with moderate ascites. We prospectively recruited 176 patients and 245 controls and determined their genetic polymorphisms for 24 SNPs of ten genes involved in the RAAS and renal sodium handling pathway. In cirrhotic patients with moderate ascites, multivariate analysis showed that diuretic unresponsiveness was predicted by a high basal plasma aldosterone level, by a high aldosterone/renin ratio and by specific risk genotypes of ACE (gene encoding angiotensin-converting enzyme), CYP11B2 (gene encoding aldosterone synthase) and ADDA (gene encoding α-adducin).

The present study was designed to examine the anatomical parameters of the cardiopulmonary system, the function of venous blood gas parameters and the development of ascites incidence in two genetic line chickens. Three hundred forty day-old chickens from two pure broiler breeder lines, which were different in their growth rate and susceptibility to ascites syndrome were obtained. The relative heart and lung weights, the volumes of the heart, lung and thorax cavity, the incidence of ascites, and the venous blood gas parameters in these two genetic line chickens were followed. In the present study, the incidence of ascites and right ventricular hypertrophy was markedly higher in the fast-growing broiler chickens compared to the slow-growing chickens, as two genetic line chickens exhibited significant differences in their growth performance traits. The volumes of the thorax cavity, before and after removing the heart and lung tissues, were lower in fast-growing broiler chickens compared to the slow

Identification of Biomarkers Associated with Ascites Incidence in Broi by Kaylee RowlandIdentification of Biomarkers Associated with Ascites Incidence in Broi by Kaylee Rowland
Poultry is key in genetic research due to breeding feasibility, relatively short generation interval, and distinct phenotypes. It is estimated that 8% of broiler deaths annually can be attributed to ascites, an economically important disease that has been challenging the industry for the past 2 decades. Genetically selected ascites resistant (RES) and susceptible (SUS) chicken lines have been established and maintained by the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. Intensive research efforts have been made to reveal physiological and biochemical characteristics for the incidence of ascites. Since the whole genome of the major ancestral chicken, the Red Jungle Fowl, has been sequenced, genome-wide genetic study is now possible in chickens to identify genetic variations throughout the entire genome. To identify genetic biomarkers responsible for ascites resistance or susceptibility, whole genome sequences of genetically selected chicken lines (RES and SUS) in addition to the unselected parental Relaxed line

Ca2+ translocation in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells - Semantic ScholarCa2+ translocation in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells - Semantic Scholar
Ca2+ uptake into Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was studied at 0°C in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitors, conditions that minimized complications caused by sequestration of Ca2+ into organelles or by excretion. Under these conditions Ruthenium Red inhibited Ca2+ uptake, but other previously implicated ions, such as Pi or Mg2+, had no effect. Valinomycin either inhibited or slightly stimulated Ca2+ uptake depending on the presence of excess K+ on the outside or inside of the cell, respectively. Nigericin inhibited Ca2+ transport. Based on these data we propose an electrogenic uptake of Ca2+, possibly via a Ca2+/H+ antiport mechanism. The observation that glucose inhibited Ca2+ uptake suggested that in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells an energy-driven Ca2+ expulsion mechanism is operative, similar to that in erythrocytes. Plasma membrane preparations of ascites tumor cells were found to contain a Ca2+-dependent ATPase. These preparations, when incorporated into liposomes in an inside-out orientation,

ParacentesisParacentesis
In both diagnostic and large-volume paracentesis, the doctor first numbs the skin with a local anesthetic. He or she then inserts a needle through the abdominal wall, and 1 to 2 inches into the abdomen. In some cases, the doctor may use ultrasound to find the location of the abdominal fluid. You may feel some pressure as the needle is inserted. In diagnostic paracentesis, the doctor only removes a small amount of fluid, which is then sent to a laboratory for tests. In large-volume paracentesis, the doctor drains all, or a portion, of the fluid in the abdomen into a vacuum bottle. In severe cases, the fluid will need to be removed in several sessions, with about a gallon being removed per session. Once the drainage is completed, the needle is removed, and a dressing is applied to the puncture site. This procedure usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes, but may take longer if a large amount of fluid is being removed. ...

In the study, GI endoscopy assistants performed 1100 large-volume paracenteses in 628 patients. Of these patients 513 had cirrhosis. The team found that the pre-procedure mean international normalized ratio for prothrombin time was 1.7, and the mean platelet count was 50.4 x 103/L. They found that the performance of 3 to 7 supervised paracenteses was required before competence was achieved. The team did not observe any significant procedure-related complications, even in patients with marked thrombocytopenia or prolongation in the prothrombin time. The mean duration of large-volume paracentesis was 97 minutes, and the mean volume of ascitic fluid removed was 8.7 L.

Nutrition for cirrhosis of the liver with ascitesNutrition for cirrhosis of the liver with ascites
When fluid is accumulated in the abdominal cavity( with ascites), diuretics are prescribed that help to reduce exudation. Diuretic action is possessed by tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, beets, pumpkin, carrots, apples, strawberries, plums, buckwheat, oatmeal, pearl barley, green tea, cinnamon, parsley, turmeric. The menu for cirrhosis of the liver will depend on the stage of the disease. In the compensatory form of the disease, the diet should contain a lot of protein, because thanks to choline and amino acids, hepatocytes recover more quickly. The menu should be cottage cheese, milk, kefir, lean fish, beef, buckwheat, oatmeal, greens. At the stage of decompensation, enzymes that neutralize ammonia are not synthesized, therefore vegetable fats and vegetables should be based on the diet. Dietary nutrition with cirrhosis of the liver with ascites has the same significance as medical therapy. Most drugs prescribed for the disease contain the same components that are in food, so a well-designed diet ...
