Since glucose diffuses readily across membranes, the concentration of glucose in the ascitic fluid, under normal conditions, is similar to that in the serum.39However, ascitic glucose concentration decreases due to consumption by bacteria, white blood cells or cancer cells in the fluid in tubercul...
