Ascites is the most common complication of cirrhosis, and 60% of patients with compensated cirrhosis develop ascites within 10 years during the course of their disease . Ascites occurs only when portal hypertension has developed and is related to inability to excrete an adequate amount of sodium
General Anaesthesia can be appropriate for patients undergoing abdominal surgery. In common practice with rapid sequence induction with inhalational anesthetics (sevoflourane or isoflourane), opioids (fentanyl 1-2 mic/kg with induction & morphine 0.1 mg/kg) and neuromuscular blockers
Dengue fever has various levels of severity, from mild disease to severe hemorrhagic complications and shock. Dengue is endemic world-wide and has been found in the United States. The mortality from dengue fever can be as high as 15-20%, with nearly 22,000 deaths annually, most of them children
Globally, the mortality after any infection in cirrhosis patients is very high. The cumulative mortality in patients with infections was 43.5% (11,987 patients) where as the mortality rate without infection was 13.6% (2317 patients). Over the years, variceal bleeding causing death in cirrhosis has
Canrenone is a specific antagonist of aldosterone. It is a competitive inhibitor of aldosterone receptors and inhibits the effects of aldosterone. Spironolactone is a prodrug which is active after its conversion into canrenone. By inhibiting the effects of aldosterone it increases aqueous and sodium
According to the recommendations, each ascites fluid must be sent for biochemical and bacteriological analysis.

Inter Dialytic Weight Gain (IDWG) ascribed to fluid retention is one of the major clinical problem that patients in hemodialysis need to cope with between 2 subsequent hemodialysis especially in patients with no residual renal function. Fluid retention is associated with morbid conditions such as
Images from a MDCT scan are reconstructed into thin slices which can be viewed in any orientation with similar image quality compared to the original axial images. Completely isotropic resolution in 16- to 64-slice CT can be achieved using 0.5- to 0.625-mm slice thickness. Resulting images have high
