Hepatic ascites is not a contagious disease, but some of the diseases that cause liver ascites are known to cause transmission. For example, liver ascites due to viral infections is a more typical source of infection. Hepatic ascites occurs mainly as a result of liver disease that causes a loss of liver function, resulting in increased resistance to the centripetal return of blood in the liver and leakage of blood components out of the abdominal cavity. The disease itself is not an infectious disease. Some viral hepatitis, which is not well treated during its onset, leads to rapid liver cell damage or apoptosis, when liver function is severely impaired and ascites can develop. Since the source of ascites is from the body of the patient with viral hepatitis, the ascites will contain a large amount of hepatitis virus. These ascites can lead to the transmission of hepatitis virus if they are not specially treated and the hepatitis virus in them is transmitted to others through some special transmission routes. Hepatitis viruses are mostly blood-borne, so when coming into contact with ascites from these patients, it is important to take precautions to avoid transmission. Hepatic ascites itself is not a disease that can be transmitted, but some viruses or other substances in ascites that can cause transmission can indeed cause transmission of the disease. These should be two different concepts.
