Abstract
Cell-free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) is frequently used to treat refractory ascites in Japan. However, its efficacy remains unclear. This controlled cohort study verified the serum albumin elevating effect of CART by comparisons with simple paracentesis. Ascites patients receiving CART (N = 88) or paracentesis (N = 108) at our hospital were assessed for the primary outcome of change in serum albumin level within 3 days...
