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:

Ascites is also classified based on the Serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) as two subtypes:

Transudate - SAAG > 1.1 g/dL
Exudate - SAAG < 1.1 g/dL

Ascites classification

Based on Etiology

Based on SAAG

Portal hypertension

Hypoalbuminemia

Peritoneal disease

Other etiologies

High (SAAG > 1.1 g/dL)

Low (SAAG < 1.1 g/dL)

• Cirrhosis
• Alcoholic hepatitis
• Acute liver failure
• Hepatic veno-occlusive disease
• Heart failure
• Constrictive pericarditis
• Hemodialysis-associated

• Nephrotic syndrome
• Protein-losing enteropathy
• Severe malnutrition

• Malignant ascites
• Infectious peritonitis
• Eosinophilic gastroenteritis
• Starch granulomatous peritonitis
• Peritoneal dialysis
• Multicystic mesothelioma (peritoneal inclusion cyst)

• Chylous ascites
• Pancreatic ascites
• Myxedema
• Hemoperitoneum
• Urologic injury

• Cirrhosis
• Fulminant hepatic failure
• Veno-occlusive disease
• Hepatic vein obstruction (i.e., Budd-Chiari syndrome)
• Congestive heart failure
• Nephrotic syndrome
• Protein-losing enteropathy
• Malnutrition
• Myxedema
• Ovarian tumors
• Pancreatic ascites
• Biliary ascites
• Malignancy
• Trauma
• Portal hypertension

• Primary peritoneal mesothelioma
• Secondary peritoneal carcinomatosis
• Tuberculous peritonitis
• Fungal and parasitic infections (eg, Candida, Histoplasma, Cryptococcus, Schistosoma mansoni, Strongyloides, Entamoeba histolytica)
• Sarcoidosis
• Foreign bodies (i.e., talc, cotton and wood fibers, starch, barium)
• Systemic lupus erythematosus
• Henoch-Schönlein purpura
• Eosinophilic gastroenteritis
• Whipple disease
• Endometriosis

-Ascites is broadly classified as two types based on the [[Serum-ascites albumin gradient]] (SAAG):
-* Transudate - SAAG > 1.1 g/dL (indicates the ascites is due to [[portal hypertension]]).
-* Exudate - SAAG < 1.1 g/dL (indicates the ascites is due to non-portal hypertension etiology).
