Ascites often appears as a complication of several illnesses. The therapy is essentially based on the use of low-sodium diet, plasma or albumin infusion, diuretics and low-dosed ACE-inhibitors. To use the simple paracentesis or special techniques as Rhodiascit or Lee Veen Shunt means not to resolve definitively the problem and sometimes to cause undesirable complications. The authors present a new therapeutic tactics that joins the use of technique of double filtration of ascitic fluid and reinfusion of concentrated proteins (DFAF) with the injection in the peritoneal cavity of beta-interferon and the venous infusion of ATIII. Twenty patients affected by hepatic cirrhosis with the presence of ascitic fluid not treatable with the usual therapy have been subjected to this treatment. All the patients showed an immediate improvement of the clinical situation. After one year of observation, we describe our results. Twelve patients needed a further treatment with the DFAF technique, two patients died for the original pathology and six patients just needed an adjustment of pharmacologic therapy.
