ABSTRACT
Paracentesis which is used for cirrhotic acid treatment may cause renal dysfunction secondary to circulatory dysfunction when performed with high volume. In our clinic, spontaneous ascites perforation has developed in a patient hospitalized due to massive ascites and hepatorenal syndrome. In the follow-up period, dramatical decline was observed in creatinine values. In conclusion; it should be kept in mind that, a large amount of ascites drainage may be performed without increase in creatinine values during paracentesis taking into account the hemodynamic status of the patient.
