. Studies published in the 1940s proposed that the formation of ascites was due to an imbalance in the Starling's equilibrium in splanchnic capillaries, caused by an increased hydrostatic pressure due ...
Plasma colloid osmotic pressure was reduced by 76% (from 19.6 ± 0.6 to 4.7 ± 1.5 mm Hg) in five baboons while pulmonary capillary hydrostatic pressure was maintained at a normal ...
of these patients. Laboratory tests in ascitic fluid initially include total and differential white blood cell (WBC) count, total protein, and albumin for calculation of the serum- ascites albumin gradient (SAAG).[6 ...
