In the natural history of hepatic cirrhosis, approximately the 50 % of patients has its first decompensation as a ascites way, which at its turn, if it not appropriately treated may leads to other complications more severe such that spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and other, perhaps irreversible including the hepatorenal syndrome. About the 60 % of patients with compensated cirrhosis develops ascites during the first 10 years after diagnosis. This matter was reviewed to decrease the figure of complications and deaths due to this cause.
