Ascites is rare in Crohn's disease. When it does occur, it is usually due to infection, thrombosis of the hepatic or portal veins or a malignancy.

i would assume you mean ascites? probably due to the malabsorption of the intestine (in the case of crohns disease) causing the liver to back up and fail. ascites are usually a sign of the liver failing or not working hard enough. although i havent seen any cases of crohns dx people having ascites, but maybe then i havent seen really prolonged cases of crohns?
