“…Most forms of ascites are post sinusoidal, consisting of a modified transudate originating from beyond (cranial to) the hepatic sinusoids. In animals with hypoproteinemia, all types of ascites will be recognised as transudates regardless of their origin (Hyatt andSmith 1954, Greene 1979).…”

“…Blakemore, Rousselot, Linton, and others [22][23][24] reported large series of patients treated with some type of portacaval shunt or by splenectomy and proximal splenorenal shunt. For about 10 years it appeared that the problem had been resolved until the recognition of portal systemic encephalopathy [25][26][27][28] and the existence of the portaprival metabolic syndrome raised serious doubts about the validity of this approach. During a subsequent decade, incidence of reported encephalopathy ranged from 12% to as high as 45%, although careful analyses of the data available showed that the occurrence of serious and uncontrollable encephalopathy was probably in the range of 5 to 10% as more effective medical (intestinal antibiotics, lactulose, restriction of protein, etc.)…”

“…Animal experiments of hepatic vascular outflow restriction show increased hepatic lymph production. When the hepatic vein is ligated in a dog and the liver is placed within the thorax, pleural fluid accumulates instead of ascites; when it is placed within a bag, fluid accumulates in the bag (5,6). In cirrhotic ascites, however, the protein concentration of the ascitic fluid more closely resembles intestinal lymph than hepatic lymph.…”
