ASCITIC FLUID BIO CHEMICAL ANALYSIS

Ascitic Fluid Biochemical Analysis is a diagnostic test that evaluates the composition of fluid accumulated in the abdominal cavity, known as ascitic fluid. This analysis measures critical parameters such as protein levels, glucose levels, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to differentiate between various medical conditions. It helps determine whether the fluid buildup is caused by liver cirrhosis, cancer, infection, or tuberculosis. Elevated protein and LDH levels often suggest infections or malignancies, while low glucose levels may indicate bacterial peritonitis. Accurate analysis of ascitic fluid is essential for diagnosing and managing abdominal diseases effectively.
