Core Tip	Few randomized control studies have been performed in the management of refractory ascites, of which all were performed either in the pre-model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) era or done in patients with low MELD scores. As such, most of the manage-ment guidelines have significant limitations in its utility for patients admitted to the hospital with significant hemodynamic dysfunction and other complications of cirrhosis. Our objective is to review the origins of our current management of refractory ascites and its limi-tations.
