1.	The primary cause of abdominal ascites in a patient with Cirrhosis of the liver is:1. An increased vasopressin level2. An increased serum sodium level3. A decreased serum aldosterone level4. A increased serum albumin level
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : An increased serum sodium level CONCEPT: Cirrhosis is a condition in which your liver is scarred and permanently damaged. Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue and prevents your liver from working normally. As cirrhosis gets worse, your liver begins to fail. Accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity is called ascites. EXPLANATION: Too much sodium can make your body hold on to extra fluid. This fluid can pool in your belly, chest, and legs. Eating foods with less sodium can help control ascites. Hence, the correct answer is an increased serum sodium level.
