The peritoneum is a membrane that surrounds the organs inside the abdomen that makes ascitic fluid. This fluid is normal in the body, but cancer can cause the peritoneum to produce too much of this fluid. This is called "malignant ascites" and it is often a sign of advanced cancer.
Next Steps
if you drain fluid it will reaccumulate. periodic draining should be done. not necessary for albumin infusion.
