Abstract
Abstract: Ascites can be defined as the abnormal accumulation of fluid inside the peritoneal cavity. Earlier ascites was classified as transudative and exudative based on the total protein concentration of the ascetic fluid. To study comparative utility of serum ascites albumin gradient (SAAG), Ascitic fluid total protein, (AFTP), Ascitic fluid lactate dehydrogenase (AFLDH), Ascitic fluid / serum total protein (AFTP/STP), Ascitic fluid / Serum LDH (AFLDH/SLDH), serum and ascitic cholesterol in the differential diagnosis of ascites. 48 cases of ascites were studied for a period of 10 months extending from May 2016 to Feb. 2017 (Our cases constituted mainly Hospital admissions in the Department of Pediatrics consisting of 3 units, RIMS General Hospital, Kadapa.)
