Sample fluid: A paracentesis ( needle into belly to draw out ascites) is needed to determine if you have an infection or not. If so antibiotics are needed. If not your liver should be assessed for an abscess or portal vein clot. In addition cancer is a possibility and should be assessed. Get in right away for a thorough evaluation. The ascites is caused by something and the answer should be sought.
