The 17 pages that link to Ascites, each with the reason it gives.

• CirrhosisRelated: Portal hypertension and altered kidney sodium handling commonly produce abdominal fluid accumulation.

• PeritoneumRelated: It distends the cavity and may signal liver, cardiac, or malignant disease.

• Abdominal examinationRelated: Shifting dullness and fluid wave are examination signs used to assess abdominal fluid.

• Ovarian cancerRelated: Peritoneal spread can disrupt fluid balance and produce abdominal swelling.

• Intra-abdominal pressureRelated: Accumulated fluid can increase abdominal volume and pressure.

• SpironolactoneRelated: Aldosterone antagonism can help control fluid retention, particularly in cirrhosis.

• Abdominal cavityRelated: It shows how fluid can collect within the cavity’s potential space.

• DiureticsRelated: Spironolactone-based treatment can promote fluid removal in cirrhotic ascites.

• Abdominal ultrasonographyRelated: Ultrasound can detect small fluid collections and help guide drainage.

• Budd–Chiari syndromeRelated: Raised venous pressure and portal hypertension can drive fluid into the abdomen.

• AnasarcaRelated: It can accompany anasarca, especially when liver disease or severe systemic fluid retention is present.

• Peritoneal stomataRelated: Altered lymphatic removal through diaphragmatic pathways can contribute to fluid accumulation.
