Ascites is an abnormal accumulation of fluid within the (peritoneal) cavity. Ascites are caused by a variety of diseases and conditions, for example, cirrhosis of the liver, cancer within the abdomen, congestive heart failure, and tuberculosis.

Traditionally, ascites are divided into 2 types; transudative and exudative. This classification is based on the amount of protein found in the fluid.

A more useful system has been developed based on the amount of albumin in the ascitic fluid compared to the serum albumin (albumin measured in the blood). This is called the Serum Ascites Albumin Gradient or SAAG.

• Ascites related to portal hypertension (cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, Budd-Chiari) are generally greater than 1.1.
• Ascites caused by other reasons (malignant, pancreatitis) are lower than 1.1.

Liver disease or cirrhosis:

The most common cause of ascites is advanced liver disease or cirrhosis. Although the exact mechanism of ascites development is not completely understood, most theories suggest portal hypertension (increased pressure in the liver blood flow to the liver) as the main contributor. The basic principle is similar to the formation of edema elsewhere in the body due to an imbalance of pressure between inside the circulation (high-pressure system) and outside, in this case, the abdominal cavity (low-pressure space). The increase in portal blood pressure and decrease in albumin (a protein that is carried in the blood) may be responsible for forming the pressure gradient and resulting in abdominal ascites.

Salt and water retention:

Other factors that may contribute to ascites are salt and water retention. The circulating blood volume may be perceived as low by the sensors in the kidneys as the formation of ascites may deplete some volume from the blood. This signals the kidneys to reabsorb more salt and water to compensate for the volume loss. Some other causes of ascites related to increased pressure gradient are congestive heart failure and advanced kidney failure due to generalized retention of fluid in the body.

Portal Hypertension:

In rare cases, increased pressure in the portal system can be caused by internal or external obstruction of the portal vessel, resulting in portal hypertension without cirrhosis. Examples of this can be a mass (or tumor) pressing on the portal vessels from inside the abdominal cavity or blood clot formation in the portal vessel obstructing the normal flow and increasing the pressure in the vessel (for example, the Budd-Chiari syndrome).

Cancers:

Ascites can also manifest as a result of cancers, called malignant ascites. This type of ascites is typically a manifestation of advanced cancers of the organs in the abdominal cavity, such as colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, lymphoma, lung cancer, or ovarian cancer.

Pancreatitis:

Pancreatic ascites can be seen in people with chronic (long standing) pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The most common cause of chronic pancreatitis is prolonged alcohol abuse. Pancreatic ascites can also be caused by acute pancreatitis as well as trauma to the pancreas.

The diagnosis of ascites is based on physical examination in conjunction with a detailed medical history to ascertain the possible underlying causes since ascites is often considered a nonspecific symptom of other diseases. If ascites fluid is greater than 500ml, it can be demonstrated on physical examination by bulging flanks and fluid waves performed by the doctor examining the abdomen. Smaller amounts of fluid may be detected by an ultrasound of the abdomen. Occasionally, ascites are found incidentally by an ultrasound or a CT scan done for evaluating other conditions.

Diagnosis of underlying conditions causing ascites is the most important part of understanding the reason for a person to develop ascites. The medical history may provide clues to the underlying cause and typically includes questions about the previous diagnosis of liver disease, viral hepatitis infection and its risk factors, alcohol abuse, family history of liver disease, heart failure, cancer history, and medication history.

Blood work can play an essential role in evaluating the cause of ascites. A complete metabolic panel can detect patterns of liver injury, functional status of the liver and kidney, and electrolyte levels. A complete blood count is also useful by providing clues to underlying conditions. Coagulation (clotting) panel abnormalities (prothrombin time) may be abnormal because of liver dysfunction and inadequate production of clotting proteins.

Sometimes the possible underlying causes of ascites may not be determined based on the history, examination, and review of laboratory data and imaging studies. Analysis of the fluid may be necessary to obtain further diagnostic data. This procedure is called paracentesis, and it is performed by trained physicians. It involves sterilizing an area on the abdomen and, with the guidance of ultrasound, inserting a needle into the abdominal cavity and withdrawing fluid for further analysis.

For diagnostic purposes, a small amount (20cc) may be enough for adequate testing. Larger amounts of up to a few liters (large volume paracentesis) can be withdrawn if needed to relieve symptoms associated with abdominal ascites.

The analysis is done by sending the collected fluid to the laboratory promptly after drainage. Typically, the number and components of white blood cells and red blood cells (cell count), albumin level, gram stain and culture for any possible organisms, amylase level, glucose, total protein, and cytology (study of any cells in the fluid looking for malignant or cancerous cells) are analyzed in the laboratory. The results are then analyzed by the treating doctor for further evaluation and determination of the possible cause of ascites.

The treatment of ascites largely depends on the underlying cause. For example, peritoneal carcinomatosis or malignant ascites may be treated by surgical resection of cancer and chemotherapy, while management of ascites related to heart failure is directed toward treating heart failure with medical management and dietary restrictions. Because cirrhosis of the liver is the main cause of ascites, it will be the main focus of this section.

Diet for ascites

Managing ascites in patients with cirrhosis typically involves limiting dietary sodium intake and prescribing diuretics (water pills). Restricting dietary sodium (salt) intake to less than 2 grams per day is very practical, successful, and widely recommended for patients with ascites. In the majority of cases, this approach needs to be combined with the use of diuretics as salt restriction alone is generally not an effective way to treat ascites. Consultation with a nutrition expert in regards to daily salt restriction can be very helpful for patients with ascites.

Allopathic medications for ascites

Diuretics increase water and salt excretion from the kidneys. The recommended diuretic regimen in the setting of liver-related ascites is a combination of spironolactone and furosemide. A single daily dose of 100 milligrams of spironolactone and 40 milligrams of furosemide is the usual recommended initial dosage. This can be gradually increased to obtain an appropriate response to the maximum dosage of 400 milligrams of spironolactone and 160 milligrams of furosemide, as long as the patient can tolerate the dose increase without any side effects. Taking these medications together in the morning is typically advised to prevent frequent urination during the night.

For patients who do not respond well to or cannot tolerate the above regimen, frequent therapeutic paracentesis (a needle carefully is placed into the abdominal area, under sterile conditions) can be performed to remove large amounts of fluid. A few liters (up to 4 to 5 liters) of fluid can be removed safely by this procedure each time. For patients with malignant ascites, this procedure may also be more effective than diuretic use.

When is surgery necessary to manage ascites?

For more refractory cases, surgical procedures may be necessary to control the ascites. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) is a procedure done through the internal jugular vein (the main vein in the neck) under local anesthesia (by an interventional radiologist). A shunt is placed between the portal venous system and the systemic venous system (veins returning blood back to the heart), thereby reducing the portal pressure. This procedure is reserved for patients who have minimal response to aggressive medical treatment. It has been shown to reduce ascites and either limit or eliminate the use of diuretics in a majority of cases performed. However, it is associated with significant complications such as hepatic encephalopathy (confusion) and even death.

More traditional shunt placements (peritoneovenous shunt and systemic portosystemic shunt) have been essentially abandoned due to their high rate of complications.

Liver transplant

Finally, liver transplantation for advanced cirrhosis may be considered a treatment for ascites due to liver failure. A liver transplant involves a very complicated and prolonged process.

Saturated fats often get a bad rap. Claims over the last 30 years have falsely linked fat and saturated fats to an increased risk of heart disease, obesity, and high cholesterol.But that’s not true. Fat is actually vital to a healthy diet, and the right types of saturated fats can even provide important health benefits. For thousands of years, the ancient traditions of Herbal and Ayurvedic medicine have referred to a particular saturated fat as “liquid gold” with incredible healing powers.This saturated fat can even reduce your risk of heart disease. 

What is it? It is clarified butter, commonly known as daisee ghee.

The regular consumption of daisee ghee could lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. The ghee also remarkably decreased serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), which are all factors for an increased risk of atherosclerosis and heart disease.

A preliminary study published in the Journal of Dairy & Bioscience also showed that high doses of medicated ghee helped to lower serum cholesterol, cholesterol esters, triglycerides, and phospholipids in patients with psoriasis, which supports a decreased risk of developing heart disease.

Daisee Ghee has also been shown to improve the appearance of skin, reducing pruritis (itching), scaling, and erythema (redness). The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in daisee ghee can also reduce inflammation, as a result, heart disease may be prevented.

What makes clarified butter different from regular butter is that daisee ghee has removed the casein protein, lactose, and other dairy solids, so it can serve as a good butter substitute for those who are lactose-intolerant.

Daisee ghee is also pure butterfat and can be used for cooking at higher temperatures, with a smoke point of 485 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter will often burn at high temperatures.

Daisee ghee also has several other health benefits:

• Aid digestion
• Enhance memory and intelligence
• Treat anemia, blood disorders, and chronic fevers

Ghee is also high in butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that inhibits cancer growth and contains antiviral properties. Butyric acid can also prevent and reverse the effects of weight gain.

Sounds like “liquid gold” to me. But where do you find such a powerful food?

Some complications of ascites can be related to its amount.

• Breathing difficulties: The accumulation of fluid may cause breathing difficulties by compressing the diaphragm or forming a pleural effusion.
• Infections: Infections are another serious complication of ascites. In patients with ascites related to portal hypertension, bacteria from the gut may spontaneously invade the peritoneal fluid (ascites) and cause an infection. This is called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or SBP. Antibodies are rare in ascites and, therefore, the immune response in the ascitic fluid is very limited. The diagnosis of SBP is made by performing a paracentesis and analyzing the fluid for the number of white blood cells or evidence of bacterial growth.
• Hepatorenal syndrome: Hepatorenal syndrome is a rare, but serious and potentially deadly (average survival rates range from 2 weeks to about 3 months) complication of ascites related to cirrhosis of the liver leading to progressive kidney failure. The exact mechanism of this syndrome is not well known, but it may result from shifts in fluids, impaired blood flow to the kidneys, overuse of diuretics, and administration of IV contrasts for certain types of radiological studies like CT scans or drugs that may be harmful to the kidney.

The outlook for people with ascites primarily depends on its underlying cause and severity. In general, the prognosis of malignant ascites is poor.

• Most cases have a mean survival time between 20 to 58 weeks, depending on the type of malignancy as shown by a group of investigators.
• With allopathic treatment, ascites due to cirrhosis (advanced liver disease) usually has a fair prognosis; While with Homeopathic treatment ascites has good prognosis and almost 90+% cases are treatable in 30-90 days.
• Ascites due to heart failure have a better prognosis with allopathic treatment, as the patient may live years with appropriate treatments. With Homeopathic treatment, heart diseases and related ascites is curable in very short period (60-100 days).
