Abstract
Paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction is a complication of large volume paracentesis that leads to faster reaccumulation of ascites, hyponatremia, renal impairment, and shorter survival. Knowledge of the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and prevention of this condition is vital to the interventional radiologist as a valued team member in the treatment of ascites.Entities:
