Development of clinical biochemical tests in differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ascites / 上海第二医科大学学报

The differential diagnosis of malignant and benign ascites plays an important role in the treatment of diseases.There have been lots of clinical biochemical parameters for the differentiation of malignant and benign ascites,including fibronectin,lactic dehydrogenase,cholesteral,total protein,adenosine deaminase,serum ascites albumin gradient,free fatty acid,carcinoma embryo antigen,thymidine kinase,pseudouridine,telomerase,?1-antitrypsin,glucose,and pH.The diagnosis efficacy of these biochemical parameters is reviewed in this article.
