Cholesterol was estimated in ascitic fluid of 44 patients (29 malignant and 15 tubercular). Mean ascitic cholesterol level was significantly higher in malignant ascites (89.52 mg/dl) as compared to tubercular ascites (35.07 mg/dl). At a cut off value of 54.5 mg/dl (mean in tubercular ascites + 2SD), the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value and overall diagnostic accuracy for differentiating malignant from tubercular ascites was found to be 89.65%, 100%, 100%, 83.33% and 93.18% respectively. Ascitic fluid cholesterol estimation is a reliable and simple test for differentiating malignant ascites from tubercular ascites.
对44例患者（29例恶性腹水患者和15例结核性腹水患者）的腹水进行了胆固醇检测。恶性腹水的平均腹水胆固醇水平（89.52mg/dl）显著高于结核性腹水（35.07mg/dl）。以54.5mg/dl（结核性腹水均值+2倍标准差）为临界值，鉴别恶性腹水与结核性腹水的敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值、阴性预测值及总体诊断准确性分别为89.65%、100%、100%、83.33%和93.18%。腹水胆固醇检测是鉴别恶性腹水与结核性腹水的一项可靠且简单的检查。
