In this lecture, Professor Zach Murphy will present on Ascites. We will discuss the pathophysiology, highlighting the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, often due to liver cirrhosis, heart failure, or malignancies. The session will transition to a digital presentation focused on the diagnostic approach, including physical examination findings, ultrasound evaluation, and paracentesis to analyze ascitic fluid. Finally, we will review the management strategies for Ascites, emphasizing salt restriction, diuretic therapy, and in severe cases, procedures like paracentesis and tips to prevent complications. Enjoy the lecture and support us below!
