The purpose of this study is look at how treatments for ascites affect quality of life. Your
quality of life is the ability for you to enjoy the normal things you do. Ascites (pronounced
as-ī-tees) is the presence of extra fluid in the abdomen. Sometimes ascites is caused by

hear from the patient of how the procedure has affected their quality of life.
