I’m draining ascites through a permanent drain what is the usual colour of ascites fluid
Hello and thanks for posting, Ascites fluid is usually pale yellow, or straw coloured. Sometimes cancer cells can make it become more bloody in appearance. Cloudy fluid can indicate infection, but usually there would be other symptoms experienced by the patient as well. If anything changes, in terms of the ascites fluid, then it is always sensible to get it checked by a health professional who can advise further about it. I hope that this helps, Best wishes,
