Overview
Ascites may be classified according to etiology into four groups include portal hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, peritoneal disease, and other diseases. Ascites is also classified based on the Serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) as two subtypes include transudate - SAAG > 1.1 g/dL and exudate - SAAG < 1.1 g/dL.
Classification
Ascites may be classified according to etiology into four groups:[1]
Ascites is also classified based on the Serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) as two subtypes:[2]
- Transudate - SAAG > 1.1 g/dL
- Exudate - SAAG < 1.1 g/dL
