Core Tip	In this Editorial I discuss the involvement of the inflammasome in the inflammatory reactions that occur in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites. I focus on a recent work in which we observed that the absent in melanoma 2 inflammasome is highly activated in the ascitic fluid of patients with advanced cirrhosis and that its activation is linked to the severity of liver disease. These findings are important for the understanding of the sterile inflammatory reactions in these patients, and could have important therapeutic implications.
