Serum-Ascites Albumin Gradient Analysis in Cancer Patients in Palliative Care

According to the recommendations, each ascites fluid must be sent for biochemical and bacteriological analysis. Demonstrate the high gradient proportion (percent only, no threshold of significance required). The literature has already validated the importance of supplementing albumen with cirrhotic ascites. Demonstrating that some cancer patients have high gradients, this will be enough to make the practitioner think to supplement.
