    Hi Reacher,

    If the ascites is concerning you I would definitely discuss this with your husbands oncologist. I’m not sure if it is definitely a side effect of the Pembrolizumab but ascites is not uncommon in liver disease and so you should get it checked out.

    Has anyone had fluid accumulate in the abdominal region as a reaction to the immunotherapy keytruda or Pembrolizumab?
    My husband had to have 3 L of fluid removed from his abdominal area.
    What causes this ascetes.

    Thank you.

    There is still more fluid to drain but if they took out anymore fluid from the abdominal area
    the doctor said he would get a reaction or it could cause dizziness.
