What is Ascitic Fluid for Biochemical test?

The Ascitic Fluid for Biochemical Test measures various chemical components in ascitic fluid, which is fluid accumulated in the abdomen. This test helps to identify the cause of ascites, such as liver disease (e.g., cirrhosis), heart failure, or infections.

Key tests may include measurements of protein levels, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and albumin, which aid in differentiating between conditions like spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or malignant ascites. The fluid is obtained through paracentesis.

Risks are minimal but include discomfort and a slight risk of infection at the puncture site. Results help guide treatment decisions.
