Liver ascites can be detected by ultrasound. Ultrasound is the reflection of ultrasound waves through different tissues and organs of the body and presents different images on the monitor. Patients with hepatic ascites can be detected by ultrasound, which will show up as a low-density, non-echoic shadow on the monitor, and the amount of ascites can also be detected with the assistance of ultrasound. Hepatic ascites is mainly caused by various liver-derived diseases, such as cirrhosis and liver failure, etc. Symptomatic and causative treatments are needed for patients with hepatic ascites.

It is recommended that patients with hepatic ascites should be treated in time to avoid adverse effects.
