If more than 25 milliliters (ml) of fluid accumulate in the stomach, it is called ascites. Ascites usually occurs when the liver is no longer functioning properly. In liver disorders, fluid fills the space between the abdominal wall and the organs.
According to the clinical guidelines published in the Journal of Hepatology 2010, the two-year survival rate is 50%.
Causes of ascites
Ascites is most commonly caused by scarring of the liver, also known as cirrhosis. The scarring increases the pressure in the blood vessels of the liver. The increased pressure can push the fluid into the abdominal cavity and cause ascites.
