ABSTRACT

Accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity is defined as ascites. The leading cause of ascites worldwide is cirrhosis, with other common causes such as malignancy and heart failure. Successful treatment is dependent on establishing the underlying cause of ascites. The aim of this review is to facilitate a diagnostic algorithm for health care providers in Costa Rica and further extend management on patients presenting ascites.
