==Overview==
Diseases that cause ascites should differentiate from each others, such as cirrhosis, [[Alcoholic hepatitis]], [[Budd-Chiari  syndrome]], [[Constrictive pericarditis]], [[Heart failure]], [[Myxedema]], [[Cancer]], [[Nephrotic syndrome]], [[Pancreatitis]], [[Serositis]], and [[Tuberculosis]]. The ascites may be [[transudate]] ([[Serum-ascites albumin gradient|serum-ascites albumin gradient [SAAG]]] ≥ 1.1 g/dL) or exudate ([[Serum-ascites albumin gradient|serum-ascites albumin gradient [SAAG]]] < 1.1 g/dL).

Overview

Diseases that cause ascites should differentiate from each others, such as cirrhosis, Alcoholic hepatitis, Budd-Chiari syndrome, Constrictive pericarditis, Heart failure, Myxedema, Cancer, Nephrotic syndrome, Pancreatitis, Serositis, and Tuberculosis. The ascites may be transudate (serum-ascites albumin gradient [SAAG] ≥ 1.1 g/dL) or exudate (serum-ascites albumin gradient [SAAG] < 1.1 g/dL).
