Abstract
In the mid 1990s, radiologists are asked to provide advice on managing patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites. Liver disease is the most common cause of ascites. However, appropriate management of these patients is based on the ability to exclude other causes as well as knowledge of the physiological abnormalities that result in ascites. The goal of this review is to summarize advances in these areas as well as to discuss therapeutic options.
