| Core Tip |
Despite being relatively rare, persistent ascites after liver transplantation is associated with worse clinical outcomes. Therefore, it is of primary concern to promptly diagnose and treat modifiable causes of ascites. Early evaluation should include ultrasound with Doppler and diagnostic paracentesis. Common treatable causes include hepatic inflow and outflow obstruction, recurrent hepatitis C infection, and acute cellular rejection. Ascites of unknown cause should be treated with diuretics and paracentesis, while transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and splenic artery embolization can be used in patients with refractory ascites. The latter option represents a novel treatment modality with promising results. |
