For example, severe heart failure can cause pulmonary edema, pleural effusions, ascites and peripheral edema. Liver metastasis can cause jaundice and abdominal swelling (ascites). Risk factors include ascites and peritoneal dialysis. Physical examination may reveal pitting peripheral edema, ascites, liver enlargement, and spleen enlargement. Clinical condition characterized by ovarian mass, ascites, and right-sided pleural effusion. Symptoms include bloating, abdominal distention, ascites, and dyspareunia. People with ascites due to cirrhosis are at risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. The causes of the ascites and pleural effusion are poorly understood. He also had progressive liver cirrhosis and existing ascites. Consequentially, the decrease in pressure results in overall peripheral edema and ascites. Peritoneal fluid microscopy is a useful test in evaluating the cause of ascites. This form of thrombosis presents with abdominal pain, ascites and enlarged liver. There, they produce tumors secreting an antibody-rich fluid called ascites fluid. Of those with cirrhosis, more than half develop ascites in the ten years following diagnosis. Some patients could experience portal hypertension, hemorrhages, and abdominal swelling (ascites).
