102
Q

tips for leg swelling with edema

A
  • Restrict the amount of salt in your diet.
  • Put a pillow under your legs when lying down, which may lessen swelling related to the buildup of fluid.
  • Wear elastic compression stockings, but avoid stockings that are tight around the top (if you can see the indentation from the elastic, they may be too tight).
  • If you need to stand or sit for long periods, give yourself frequent breaks and move around, unless the movement causes pain.
  • Don’t stop taking a prescription medication without talking to your doctor, even if you suspect it may be causing leg swelling.
  • Over-the-counter (nonprescription) pain medication may lessen painful swelling
103
Q

Ascites

A

Edema in the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen

104
Q

ascites most commonly seen in

A

individuals with cirrhosis of the liver

105
Q

ascites: Increased pressure in the hepatic portal vein due to cirrhosis leads to

A

fluid leakage out of the vasculature

106
Q

Fluid leakage out of the vasculature due to

inflammation

107
Q

ascites symptoms

A

As more fluid accumulates, increased abdominal girth and size are commonly seen. Abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating are also frequently seen as ascites becomes larger. Shortness of breath can also happen with large ascites due to increased pressure on the diaphragm and the migration of the fluid across the diaphragm causing pleural effusions (fluid around the lungs). A cosmetically disfiguring large belly, due to ascites, is also a common concern of some patients. If ascites is causing symptoms of shortness of breath, abdominal discomfort ,or inability to do normal daily tasks such as walking, the patient’s primary doctor should be notified.
