Ascites is the buildup of fluid in your belly, often due to severe liver disease. The extra fluid makes your belly swell. A sheet of tissue called the peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, including the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. The peritoneum has two layers. Ascites happens when fluid builds up between the two layers.
