Hello, I was referred to a gastroenterologist by my PCP for abdominal pain, bloating and ULQ pain.The gastro ordered an MRI which came back normal except for a cyst on my liver and 'trace hepatic ascites'.. the gastro said it was nothing to worry about. However, in researching ascites, it seems to be caused by some pretty serious things, so I'm concerned. Is it 'not to worry' because it's just a trace? Is this ever benign or naturally occurring? Perhaps it's not actually ascites but another kibd of fluid? The Dr. referred to it just as fluid around the liver but the MRI does call it ascites...
