Thank you.
Portal vein thrombosis, as a pre-sinusoidal cause of PH, doesn’t usualy course with ascites in the absence of other predisposing factor, like hypoalbuminemia. Great lecture, tho! Thanks from 🇧🇷
thanks!! useful video!! keep it up :-)
Thanks! Working away at more mnemonics and drugs as we speak!
Brilliant
Fantastic. You mentioned a list of high and low SAAG associated diseases.... which of these diseases could be affected by a big meal/ alcohol/ coffee, sugar etc?
Help full 🤔
Thanks ❤️
Thanks
Could you also explain the impact of low albumin, on the respective hign and low SAAG diseases?
thank you
You're welcome!
Great video, very well explained. The audio quality could be a bit better.
Amazing
Thank you!
Random question but does the lab do the actual calculating and give you back the result or does the doctor work it out?
thanks
So portal hypertension causes the fluid to leak from the vessels into the peritoneal space?
thnks
Thankyou for this kind of informative video about ascites 💯
You're very welcome! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
is there any treatment?
Tq
Dear doctor, how we can stop ascites,after tips procedure and replacing a stine in the liver?
We did the tips procedure and our patien still has ascites. Doctors tell us, it is due to lack of albumin.
Will she be OK?
What is the right diet to prevent ascites??
Wow...
What is planet ayurveda.where do we get them
can you please tell me why saag is lower than 1.1 in nephrotic ascites
Hi! Thanks for your question. So a low SAAG tells us that the concentration of albumin in the circulation (serum) isn't so different from the concentration in the ascitic fluid. In nephrotic syndrome, the concentration of albumin in the circulation is likely to be low (hypoalbuminemia). Therefore, the difference between their Serum and Ascitic Albumin concentrations is more likely to be less than 1.1g/dL. As an example, a normal serum albumin concentration is about 3-5g/dL, If our patient has 2g/dL of serum albumin and 1.5g/dL Ascitic albumin, then they'd have a SAAG of 0.5g/dL, which is of course under 1.1. Hope that helps! 🤗
hi, may I know the reference for this video?
Hello, is ascites in liver fibrosis due to dec lymphatic drainage?
No.
Can the fluid be one sided? I have watery sounds in my left side
At least from my current predicament, the doctor said mine is only on the right so far
Is it true that if you have acites you have water limit
Can't tell, Llanelli or Carmarthen?
So how to fix it?
Can somebody help me to understand. If high SAAG = high serum levels, why do we see low albumin serum levels in cirrhotic patients? Thanks in advance.
High SAAG means high serum levels COMPARED TO ascites. Cirrhotic liver means liver is failing and can't do its normal function properly, can't produce properly normal blood proteins such as albumin, fibrinogen, complement proteins....
Thank you for the information. Ascites patients can also try a Liver care pack by Planet Ayurveda that includes Yakrit Plihantak Churna, Liver Detox Capsules, etc.
Absolute nonsense
My doctor said I do not have this but my tummy sticks out just like this .. I hope it goes away
Maybe your case is just a fat overload?
