Lybrate-user pleural effussion with ascites in itself suggest the seriousness of condition beyound scan you will have ti get your father admitted to rule out the reason of effusion as it could be owing to tuberculosis, hepatic / liver abnormalities/ kidney functions or even linked to some cardiac ailments as we donot know the history of his suffering like was he a chronic alcholic/ smoker/status of liver and other things which can only be diagnosed through proper investigations and esp in such type of patients through hospitalisations.
