Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. You will receive the report with in a day. The fluid collected from the peritoneum is the ascites fluid. It is a interstitial fluid of the body. But it is not the bleeding. But it won t be filled with in a day. You should be investigated for such a fast filling. USG abdomen is very help ful in such a diagnosis. There are many causes of the collection of the fluid most common one is the liver failure, some malignancy etc. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
