Non-Cirrhotic Ascites: Causes and Management
Ascites is a common syndrome characterized by an excess of fluid in the peritoneum. While cirrhosis is the most common cause, a wide range of other conditions—such as cancer, right heart failure, and tuberculosis—can also lead to ascites, and multiple etiologies may be present simultaneously. Effective diagnosis and management are essential, primarily relying on clinical examination and paracentesis, guided by specific tests.
