Analysis of ascitic fluid can help determine the underlying cause and identify signs of infection. A sample of fluid is typically obtained using a needle and syringe (known as an “ascitic tap” or “paracentesis”) and sent for analysis.
To prepare for an ascitic fluid test, typically fast for at least 6 hours, empty your bladder, and lie at a 45 to 60-degree angle. A healthcare professional will then clean your abdomen and use a needle to collect the fluid for testing. Follow any specific instructions from your healthcare provider.
The peritoneal cavity normally contains approximately 50–75 mls of fluid that serves to lubricate the tissues that line the abdominal wall and viscera. The term ascites is reserved to denote an abnormal accumulation of this fluid. Ascites is traditionally divided into transudate or exudate based on the protein content.
The most common cause of ascites is cirrhosis of the liver. Drinking too much alcohol is one of the most common causes of cirrhosis of the liver. Different types of cancer can also cause this condition. Ascites caused by cancer most often occur with advanced or recurrent cancer.
