Activity Description

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.


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Identify the key clinical manifestations of anasarca to facilitate early diagnosis and appropriate intervention.

  • Differentiate among various underlying causes of anasarca, such as heart failure, renal failure, and liver failure.

  • Implement evidence-based treatment strategies for anasarca, focusing on managing the underlying condition effectively.

  • Develop interprofessional team strategies for improving care coordination to advance the management and improve outcomes of patients with anasarca.
