Bleeding complication of ultrasound-guided abdominal paracentesis is uncommon and appears to be very mild, regardless of preprocedure international normalised ratio or platelet count. Routine correction of prolonged international normalised ratio or thrombocytopoenia before abdominal paracentesis may not be necessary.
