Anasarca, characterized by severe generalized fluid accumulation in the interstitial space, is a challenging clinical condition with diverse etiologies, often involving cardiac, renal, hepatic, or lymphatic system dysfunction. This generalized edema can result from various factors, including when capillary filtration exceeds the fluid removed via lymphatic drainage, when intravascular hydrostatic pressure increases, when the permeability of the endothelial barrier increases, when oncotic pressure within the capillary decreases, or when oncotic pressure changes due to low protein states.This activity provides healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage anasarca. By understanding the underlying causes, recognizing clinical manifestations, and employing evidence-based interventions, learners will be better equipped to make timely and informed decisions, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
