Which complication is most commonly associated with paracentesis for ascites?

Rationale: A. While bleeding is a potential risk of paracentesis, it is less common than infection. B. This is not a typical complication of paracentesis. C. Although large-volume paracentesis can occasionally affect kidney perfusion, renal failure is not the most common complication. D. Infection of the peritoneal cavity (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) is the most common and serious complication associated with paracentesis. Proper aseptic technique is essential to minimize this risk.
