| Core Tip |
Chylous ascites (CA) is a rare complication after liver transplantation, occurring in 0.6% to 4.7% of cases. This review of 13 studies highlighted the effectiveness of interventions for CA management. Low-fat diet with medium-chain triglyceride supplementation, used as first-line therapy in most studies, showed resolution rates of 62.5% to 100%. Octreotide, primarily used as second-line therapy, demonstrated resolution rates of 83.3% to 100%. Combination therapy was significantly more effective than dietary management alone (97.8% vs 78.9%; P = 0.02). A stepwise approach is recommended, starting with dietary interventions, and progressing to octreotide when necessary. However, further research is needed to optimize CA management after LT. |
