Abstract
During the past five year period 427 patients with suspect ascites were ultrasonically examined. In 127 patients the ascites was found by means of ultrasound with correct ethyological diagnosis in 36 patients (28.3%). All patients with ascites in early or developed forms have been examined in various positions, and ascites in all patients has been demonstrated by sonolaminograms. We consider that the ultrasonic examination is an initial diagnostic method in diagnosis of ascites and correct results depend on experience of the examiner, the technique of examination and the quality of the unit.
