Treatment of ascites by reinfusion of concentrated peritoneal fluid--review of 318 procedures in 210 patients
Postgrad Med J.

Abstract
A modified plate dialyser (Rhône-Poulenc) was used 318 times to concentrate ascites for reinfusion in 210 patients, most of them having longstanding ascites refractory to diuretic treatment.
The advantages of this method of treatment are its rapidity and efficacy, ascites being reduced in a mean time of 21±13 hr. Hyponatraemia is easily corrected by a sodium load during reinfusion. There was improvement in renal function in 11 of 37 cases. Adverse effects are fever, pulmonary oedema, peritoneal infections and coagulation disorders. Ascites recurred in 84% of the cases, but the procedure shortens hospital stay and reduces the cost of the treatment.
