This is liquid containing protein and electrolytes like potassium, calcium and sodium. It is not normally present in the peritoneal cavity. It is the space inside the abdomen that contains the abdominal organs such as the uterus, the bladder and the colon. The peritoneum is the membrane or cover around the abdominal organs. If ascites are present in the peritoneal cavity, this indicates that a disease, or abnormality is present. As ovarian cancer progresses from stage 1 to stage 4, more ascites are produced. The amount of the fluid often shows how far the disease has progressed. The fluid is examined under a microscope for signs of cancer cells in the fluid. This is called a cytological examination.

Ascites is the pathologic accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity. Normally, there is a balance between fluid secretion and absorption in the peritoneal cavity. Ascites occurs when either the secretion rate increases or the absorption rate decreases isproportionate to the other. A variety of benign and malignant conditions could lead to the development of ascites.

In medicine (gastroenterology), ascites (also known as hydroperitoneum or more archaically as abdominal dropsy) is an accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. Although most commonly due to cirrhosis and severe liver disease, its presence can portend other significant medical problems. Diagnosis of the cause is usually with blood tests, an ultrasound scan of the abdomen and direct removal of the fluid by needle or paracentesis (which may also be therapeutic).
