What causes this and how did it get that bad? Or does it get like this quickly? When my blood sugar is super high I can go through that much fluid in a day or two but I’m not retaining that, it’s trying to get out asap, I can’t imagine. A liter of pure water weighs a kilogram, so this is at least 42 pounds with whatever else is in there.

Ooo…my grandma has heart failure, it’s super enlarged and her entire body is swollen. She was literally spraying fluid out of her leg she had to go to the hospital. My partner’s grandpa passed from liver failure and had to keep getting his abdomen drained.

My mom had this at the end of long suffering from breast cancer that had metastasized. Her liver could not handle the chemo medication and was compromised. She had a permanent line so she could go and have the fluid drained regularly. She was in so much discomfort.

I should’ve realised it was not gonna just spray everywhere, but but I was fully expecting it to be like that one video of the horse getting some sort of fluid drained and it squirts out everywhere!

19 L of water weighs over 40 lbs. (19kg)

My father had this about a month before he died (liver cancer). I believe each time they took like 3-4 liters. 19 is crazy

Where did all that liquid come from? Is it in a sac or are the organs just swimming around in it?Â
inarasarah on
Did someone say it was only 19L? Most of those suction canisters look like 2L sizing, and there’s one that looks like a 3-4L. So it would be at least double that number

I worked in a hospital lab where all that is going to end up, they’ll just do a couple routine tests and cultures on it. That guy will slowly rebuild that fluid, maybe they’ll do this procedure more frequently so it doesn’t get so heavy, because I never saw THAT many containers from the same person. 5 of those tops, I think those are 5 liter containers.

> **Ascites** (/əˈsaɪtiz/; Greek: ἀσκός, romanized: *askos*, meaning “bag” or “sac”) is the abnormal build-up of fluid in the abdomen. Technically, it is more than 25 millilitres (0.88 imp fl oz; 0.85 US fl oz) of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, although volumes greater than one liter may occur. Symptoms may include increased abdominal size, increased weight, abdominal discomfort, and shortness of breath. Complications can include spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
>
> In the developed world, the most common cause is liver cirrhosis, whose underlying mechanism involves high blood pressure in the portal system and dysfunction of blood vessels. Other causes include cancer, heart failure, tuberculosis, pancreatitis, and blockage of the hepatic vein. Diagnosis is typically based on an examination together with ultrasound or a CT scan. Testing the fluid can help in determining the underlying cause.
>
> Treatment often involves a low-salt diet, medication such as diuretics, and draining the fluid. A transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) may be placed but is associated with complications. Attempts to treat the underlying cause, such as by a liver transplant, may be considered. Of those with cirrhosis, more than half develop ascites in the ten years following diagnosis. Of those in this group who develop ascites, half will die within three years.
I bet having that fluid removed was like having a piss after holding it in for waaayyy too long

Removing so much at one time can cause some serious hypotension, hope that guy was ok

So I was in the psychiatric hospital when I suddenly couldn’t pee… It went on for days where I begged them for help but they were pretty much accusing me of trying to make shit up for attention… I went into septic shock and collapsed in the hallway and woke up going into surgery. They took out an insane amount of urine. Not as much as this person but enough where it could’ve killed me and almost did.

I get bloated from a meal and I’m longing for the bathroom. I can’t imagine my belly expanding that far. I’d just lie in bed.

oh my
that’s usually because of liver failure, yeah?
19 litres of what?!
