Eosinophillic ascites is a severe form of eosinophilic gastroenteritis presenting as unexplained ascites with normal liver function tests. Our patient had a window period of spontaneous remission making the diagnosis difficult during the early stage. Eosinophilic gastroenteritis can present in children as ...
normal greateromentummay be difficult to visualize on US. In the presence of ascites, its inferior aspect can be seen as a moderately hyperechoic structure of variable thickness. Its superficial abdominal location allows close examination with high-resolution transducers to characterize thickening or ...
Certain genes control the life cycle—the growth, function, division, and death—of a cell. When these genes are damaged, the balance between normal cell growth and death is lost. Cancer cells are caused by DNA damage and out-of-control cell growth. The following is a partial list of fac...
In end-stage liver diseases with refractory ascites, placement of an abdominal drainage tube is more cost-effective compared with repeated large-volume paracentesis when liver transplantation and TIPS are not available. However, the incidence of SBP, cellulitis, and ascites leakage may be higher [44...
Ascitic fluid amylase was normal, cytological examination revealed lymphocytes, macrophages, mesothelial cells, pools of mucin and a negative gram stain. Ultrasound of the abdomen confirmed portal, hepatic and splenic vein patency, normal liver size with no focal lesions and ascites of varying density...
But the evi- dence for the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis was insufficient due to the normal liver metabolic function. Meanwhile, there was no imaging evidence of portal hypertension, such as portal vein widening, splenomegaly, and varicose veins. We hypothesized that on the basis of chronic liver...

and weight loss. Once inflammation occurs, there is a likelihood that the liver will not carry out its normal function, such as getting rid of toxins from the body. Blood purification will also not take place as it should. This then interferes with normal waste excretion from the body, whic...
Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Several diseases cause the condition, but more than half of cases are attributed to liver…
It is well documented that the ascites fluid from patients with advanced stage EOC suppress the function of otherwise normal immune effectors, including NK cells [40]. The ascites contains large numbers of growth factors and cytokines that promote the proliferation of tumor cells [41]. View articl...
