| Collect ascitic, pleuritic, or hydrocele fluid in sterile flasks and allow to stand in the ice-chest for twelve hours to sediment. |
| A broad-spectrum therapy is recommended in suspected ascitic fluid infection until culture results and susceptibility are available. |
| One of the two key findings of the study was a consistent gradient of cytokine concentration, with the highest levels found in ascitic fluid followed by lymph and then plasma. |
| His heart grew stronger and the ascitic fluid dispersed in 24 hours. |
| Hepatic hydrothorax originates secondary to ascitic fluid movement from the abdominal cavity to the pleural space via defects in the diaphragm. |
| The ascitic fluid had a clear straw color and did not contain cells. |
