==Overview==
Accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity results in ascites. Most important for a successful treatment of ascites is an accurate diagnosis of its cause. Most common causes are portal hypertension, malignancy and heart failure. The diagnosis is made with a combination of physical examination and abdominal imaging. The next step is typically a paracentesis to evaluate the ascitic fluid for causes.<ref name="pmid23463403">{{cite journal| author=Runyon BA, AASLD| title=Introduction to the revised American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases Practice Guideline management of adult patients with ascites due to cirrhosis 2012. | journal=Hepatology | year= 2013 | volume= 57 | issue= 4 | pages= 1651-3 | pmid=23463403 | doi=10.1002/hep.26359 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=23463403  }} </ref>

Overview

Accumulation of fluid within the peritoneal cavity results in ascites. Most important for a successful treatment of ascites is an accurate diagnosis of its cause. Most common causes are portal hypertension, malignancy and heart failure. The diagnosis is made with a combination of physical examination and abdominal imaging. The next step is typically a paracentesis to evaluate the ascitic fluid for causes.[1]

Classification/Causes

Ascites can be classified based on the underlying causes.


FIRE: Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation

A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients in need of immediate intervention.
